Version 1.92.0 (2025-12-11)
==========================

<a id="1.92.0-Language"></a>

Language
--------
- [Document `MaybeUninit` representation and validity](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140463)
- [Allow `&raw [mut | const]` for union field in safe code](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/141469)
- [Prefer item bounds of associated types over where-bounds for auto-traits and `Sized`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/144064)
- [Do not materialize `X` in `[X; 0]` when `X` is unsizing a const](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/145277)
- [Support combining `#[track_caller]` and `#[no_mangle]` (requires every declaration specifying `#[track_caller]` as well)](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/145724)
- [Make never type lints `never_type_fallback_flowing_into_unsafe` and `dependency_on_unit_never_type_fallback` deny-by-default](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/146167)
- [Allow specifying multiple bounds for same associated item, except in trait objects](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/146593)
- [Slightly strengthen higher-ranked region handling in coherence](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/146725)
- [The `unused_must_use` lint no longer warns on `Result<(), Uninhabited>` (for instance, `Result<(), !>`), or `ControlFlow<Uninhabited, ()>`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/147382). This avoids having to check for an error that can never happen.

<a id="1.92.0-Compiler"></a>

Compiler
--------
- [Make `mips64el-unknown-linux-muslabi64` link dynamically](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/146858)
- [Remove current code for embedding command-line args in PDB](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/147022)
  Command-line information is typically not needed by debugging tools, and the removed code
  was causing problems for incremental builds even on targets that don't use PDB debuginfo.

<a id="1.92.0-Libraries"></a>

Libraries
---------
- [Specialize `Iterator::eq{_by}` for `TrustedLen` iterators](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/137122)
- [Simplify `Extend` for tuples](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/138799)
- [Added details to `Debug` for `EncodeWide`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140153).
- [`iter::Repeat::last`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/147258) and [`count`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/146410) will now panic, rather than looping infinitely.

<a id="1.92.0-Stabilized-APIs"></a>

Stabilized APIs
---------------

- [`NonZero<u{N}>::div_ceil`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/num/struct.NonZero.html#method.div_ceil)
- [`Location::file_as_c_str`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/panic/struct.Location.html#method.file_as_c_str)
- [`RwLockWriteGuard::downgrade`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/sync/struct.RwLockWriteGuard.html#method.downgrade)

- [`Arc::new_zeroed_slice`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/sync/struct.Arc.html#method.new_zeroed_slice)
- [`btree_map::Entry::insert_entry`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/collections/btree_map/enum.Entry.html#method.insert_entry)
- [`btree_map::VacantEntry::insert_entry`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/collections/btree_map/struct.VacantEntry.html#method.insert_entry)
- [`impl Extend<proc_macro::Group> for proc_macro::TokenStream`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/proc_macro/struct.TokenStream.html#impl-Extend%3CGroup%3E-for-TokenStream)
- [`impl Extend<proc_macro::Literal> for proc_macro::TokenStream`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/proc_macro/struct.TokenStream.html#impl-Extend%3CLiteral%3E-for-TokenStream)
- [`impl Extend<proc_macro::Punct> for proc_macro::TokenStream`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/proc_macro/struct.TokenStream.html#impl-Extend%3CPunct%3E-for-TokenStream)
- [`impl Extend<proc_macro::Ident> for proc_macro::TokenStream`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/proc_macro/struct.TokenStream.html#impl-Extend%3CIdent%3E-for-TokenStream)

These previously stable APIs are now stable in const contexts:

- [`<[_]>::rotate_left`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/primitive.slice.html#method.rotate_left)
- [`<[_]>::rotate_right`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/primitive.slice.html#method.rotate_right)

<a id="1.92.0-Cargo"></a>

Cargo
-----
- [Added a new chapter](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/16119) to the Cargo book, ["Optimizing Build Performance"](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/cargo/guide/build-performance.html).

<a id="1.92.0-Rustdoc"></a>

Rustdoc
-----
- [If a trait item appears in rustdoc search, hide the corresponding impl items](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/145898).  Previously a search for "last" would show both `Iterator::last` as well as impl methods like `std::vec::IntoIter::last`.  Now these impl methods will be hidden, freeing up space for inherent methods like `BTreeSet::last`.
- [Relax rules for identifiers in search](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/147860).  Previously you could only search for identifiers that were valid in rust code, now searches only need to be valid as part of an identifier.  For example, you can now perform a search that starts with a digit.

<a id="1.92.0-Compatibility-Notes"></a>

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
* [Fix backtraces with `-C panic=abort` on Linux by generating unwind tables by default](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/143613). Build with `-C force-unwind-tables=no` to keep omitting unwind tables.
- As part of the larger effort refactoring compiler built-in attributes and their diagnostics, [the future-compatibility lint `invalid_macro_export_arguments` is upgraded to deny-by-default and will be reported in dependencies too.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/143857)
- [Update the minimum external LLVM to 20](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/145071)
- [Prevent downstream `impl DerefMut for Pin<LocalType>`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/145608)
- [Don't apply temporary lifetime extension rules to the arguments of non-extended `pin!` and formatting macros](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/145838)


Version 1.91.1 (2025-11-10)
===========================

<a id="1.91.1"></a>

- [Enable file locking support in illumos](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/148322). This fixes Cargo not locking the build directory on illumos.
- [Fix `wasm_import_module` attribute cross-crate](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/148363). This fixes linker errors on WASM targets.

  This brings these ABIs in line with the C ABI: variadic functions can be declared in extern blocks but not defined.
- [Add `dangling_pointers_from_locals` lint to warn against dangling pointers from local variables](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/144322)
- [Upgrade `semicolon_in_expressions_from_macros` from warn to deny](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/144369)

<a id="1.91.0-Platform-Support"></a>

Platform Support
----------------

- [Promote `aarch64-pc-windows-gnullvm` and `x86_64-pc-windows-gnullvm` to Tier 2 with host tools.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/143031)
  Note: llvm-tools and MSI installers are missing but will be added in future releases.
- [Promote `aarch64-pc-windows-msvc` to Tier 1](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/145682)

Cargo
-----

- 🎉 Stabilize `build.build-dir`.
  This config sets the directory where intermediate build artifacts are stored.
  These artifacts are produced by Cargo and rustc during the build process.
  End users usually won't need to interact with them, and the layout inside
  `build-dir` is an implementation detail that may change without notice.

  [#15840](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/15840)
- The `--target` flag and the `build.target` configuration can now take literal
  `"host-tuple"` string, which will internally be substituted by the host
  machine's target triple.

- [In search results, rank doc aliases lower than non-alias items with the same name](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/145100)
- [Raw pointers now work in type-based search like references](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/145731). This means you can now search for things like `*const u8 ->`, and additionally functions that take or return raw pointers will now display their signature properly in search results.

<a id="1.91.0-Compatibility-Notes"></a>

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- [Always require coroutine captures to be drop-live](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/144156)
- [Apple: Always pass SDK root when linking with `cc`, and pass it via `SDKROOT` env var](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/131477). This should fix linking issues with `rustc` running inside Xcode. Libraries in `/usr/local/lib` may no longer be linked automatically, if you develop or use a crate that relies on this, you should explicitly set `cargo::rustc-link-search=/usr/local/lib` in a `build.rs` script.
- [Relaxed bounds in associated type bound position like in `TraitRef<AssocTy: ?Sized>` are now correctly forbidden](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/135331)
- [Add unstable `#[sanitize(xyz = "on|off")]` built-in attribute that shadows procedural macros with the same name](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/142681)
- [Fix the drop checker being more permissive for bindings declared with let-else](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/143028)
- [Be more strict when parsing attributes, erroring on many invalid attributes](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/144689)
    - [Error on invalid `#[should_panic]` attributes](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/143808)
    - [Error on invalid `#[link]` attributes](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/143193)
- [Mark all deprecation lints in name resolution as deny-by-default and also report in dependencies](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/143929)
- The lint `semicolon_in_expressions_from_macros`, for `macro_rules!` macros in expression position that expand to end in a semicolon (`;`), is now deny-by-default. It was already warn-by-default, and a future compatibility warning (FCW) that warned even in dependencies. This lint will become a hard error in the future.
- [Trait impl modifiers (e.g., `unsafe`, `!`, `default`) in inherent impls are no longer syntactically valid](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/144386)
- [Start reporting future breakage for `ill_formed_attribute_input` in dependencies](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/144544)
- [Restrict the scope of temporaries created by the macros `pin!`, `format_args!`, `write!`, and `writeln!` in `if let` scrutinees in Rust Edition 2024.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/145342) This applies [Rust Edition 2024's `if let` temporary scope rules](https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/rust-2024/temporary-if-let-scope.html) to these temporaries, which previously could live past the `if` expression regardless of Edition.
- [Invalid numeric literal suffixes in tuple indexing, tuple struct indexing, and struct field name positions are now correctly rejected](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/145463)
- [Closures marked with the keyword `static` are now syntactically invalid](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/145604)
- [Shebangs inside `--cfg` and `--check-cfg` arguments are no longer allowed](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/146211)
- [Add future incompatibility lint for temporary lifetime shortening in Rust 1.92](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/147056)

Cargo compatibility notes:

- `cargo publish` no longer keeps `.crate` tarballs as final build artifacts
  when `build.build-dir` is set. These tarballs were previously included due to
  an oversight and are now treated as intermediate artifacts.
  To get `.crate` tarballs as final artifacts, use `cargo package`.
  In a future version, this change will apply regardless of `build.build-dir`.
  [#15910](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/15910)
- Adjust Cargo messages to match rustc diagnostic style.
  This changes some of the terminal colors used by Cargo messages.
  [#15928](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/15928)
- Tools and projects relying on the
  [internal details of Cargo's `build-dir`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/build-cache.html)
  may not work for users changing their `build-dir` layout.
  For those doing so, we'd recommend proactively testing these cases
  particularly as we are considering changing the default location of the `build-dir` in the future
  ([cargo#16147](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/16147)).
  If you can't migrate off of Cargo's internal details,
  we'd like to learn more about your use case as we prepare to change the layout of the `build-dir`
  ([cargo#15010](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/15010)).

Internal Changes
----------------

These changes do not affect any public interfaces of Rust, but they represent
significant improvements to the performance or internals of rustc and related
tools.

- [Update to LLVM 21](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/143684)

Version 1.90.0 (2025-09-18)
===========================

<a id="1.90-Language"></a>

Language
--------
- [Split up the `unknown_or_malformed_diagnostic_attributes` lint](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140717). This lint has been split up into four finer-grained lints, with `unknown_or_malformed_diagnostic_attributes` now being the lint group that contains these lints:
    1. `unknown_diagnostic_attributes`: unknown to the current compiler
    2. `misplaced_diagnostic_attributes`: placed on the wrong item
    3. `malformed_diagnostic_attributes`: malformed attribute syntax or options
    4. `malformed_diagnostic_format_literals`: malformed format string literal
- [Allow constants whose final value has references to mutable/external memory, but reject such constants as patterns](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140942)
- [Allow volatile access to non-Rust memory, including address 0](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/141260)


<a id="1.90-Compiler"></a>

Compiler
--------
- [Use `lld` by default on `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140525).
- [Tier 3 `musl` targets now link dynamically by default](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/144410). Affected targets:

<a id="1.90-Cargo"></a>

Cargo
-----
- [Add `http.proxy-cainfo` config for proxy certs](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/15374/)
- [Use `gix` for `cargo package`](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/15534/)
- [feat(publish): Stabilize multi-package publishing](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/15636/)

<a id="1.90-Rustdoc"></a>

Rustdoc
-----
- [Add ways to collapse all impl blocks](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/141663). Previously the "Summary" button and "-" keyboard shortcut would never collapse `impl` blocks, now they do when shift is held
- [Display unsafe attributes with `unsafe()` wrappers](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/143662)


<a id="1.90-Compatibility-Notes"></a>

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Use `lld` by default on `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140525).
  See also <https://blog.rust-lang.org/2025/09/01/rust-lld-on-1.90.0-stable/>.
- [Make `core::iter::Fuse`'s `Default` impl construct `I::default()` internally as promised in the docs instead of always being empty](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140985)
- [Set `MSG_NOSIGNAL` for `UnixStream`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140005)
  This may change program behavior but results in the same behavior as other primitives (e.g., stdout, network sockets).
  Programs relying on signals to terminate them should update handling of sockets to handle errors on write by exiting.
- [On Unix `std::env::home_dir` will use the fallback if the `HOME` environment variable is empty](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/141840)
- We now [reject unsupported `extern "{abi}"`s consistently in all positions](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/142134). This primarily affects the use of implementing traits on an `extern "{abi}"` function pointer, like `extern "stdcall" fn()`, on a platform that doesn't support that, like aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu. Direct usage of these unsupported ABI strings by declaring or defining functions was already rejected, so this is only a change for consistency.
- [const-eval: error when initializing a static writes to that static](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/143084)
- [Check that the `proc_macro_derive` macro has correct arguments when applied to the crate root](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/143607)


Version 1.89.0 (2025-08-07)
==========================

<a id="1.89.0-Language"></a>

Language
--------
- [Stabilize explicitly inferred const arguments (`feature(generic_arg_infer)`)](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/141610)
- [Add a warn-by-default `mismatched_lifetime_syntaxes` lint.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/138677)
  This lint detects when the same lifetime is referred to by different syntax categories between function arguments and return values, which can be confusing to read, especially in unsafe code.
  This lint supersedes the warn-by-default `elided_named_lifetimes` lint.
- [Expand `unpredictable_function_pointer_comparisons` to also lint on function pointer comparisons in external macros](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/134536)

- [Allow `#![doc(test(attr(..)))]` everywhere](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140560)
- [Extend temporary lifetime extension to also go through tuple struct and tuple variant constructors](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140593)
- [`extern "C"` functions on the `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target now have a standards compliant ABI](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2025/04/04/c-abi-changes-for-wasm32-unknown-unknown/)

<a id="1.89.0-Compiler"></a>

Cargo
-----
- [`cargo fix` and `cargo clippy --fix` now default to the same Cargo target selection as other build commands.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/15192/) Previously it would apply to all targets (like binaries, examples, tests, etc.). The `--edition` flag still applies to all targets.
- [Stabilize doctest-xcompile.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/15462/) Doctests are now tested when cross-compiling. Just like other tests, it will use the [`runner` setting](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html#targettriplerunner) to run the tests. If you need to disable tests for a target, you can use the [ignore doctest attribute](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustdoc/write-documentation/documentation-tests.html#ignoring-targets) to specify the targets to ignore.

<a id="1.89.0-Compatibility-Notes"></a>

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Make `missing_fragment_specifier` an unconditional error](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/128425)
- [Enabling the `neon` target feature on `aarch64-unknown-none-softfloat` causes a warning](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/135160) because mixing code with and without that target feature is not properly supported by LLVM
- [Sized Hierarchy: Part I](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/137944)
  - Introduces a small breaking change affecting `?Sized` bounds on impls on recursive types which contain associated type projections. It is not expected to affect any existing published crates. Can be fixed by refactoring the involved types or opting into the `sized_hierarchy` unstable feature. See the [FCP report](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/137944#issuecomment-2912207485) for a code example.
- The warn-by-default `elided_named_lifetimes` lint is [superseded by the warn-by-default `mismatched_lifetime_syntaxes` lint.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/138677)
- [Error on recursive opaque types earlier in the type checker](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/139419)
- [Type inference side effects from requiring element types of array repeat expressions are `Copy` are now only available at the end of type checking](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/139635)
- [The deprecated accidentally-stable `std::intrinsics::{copy,copy_nonoverlapping,write_bytes}` are now proper intrinsics](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/139916). There are no debug assertions guarding against UB, and they cannot be coerced to function pointers.
- [Remove long-deprecated `std::intrinsics::drop_in_place`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140151)
- [Make well-formedness predicates no longer coinductive](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140208)
- [Remove hack when checking impl method compatibility](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140557)

<a id="1.89.0-Internal-Changes"></a>

Internal Changes
----------------

These changes do not affect any public interfaces of Rust, but they represent
significant improvements to the performance or internals of rustc and related
tools.

- [Correctly un-remap compiler sources paths with the `rustc-dev` component](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/142377)


Version 1.88.0 (2025-06-26)
==========================

<a id="1.88.0-Language"></a>

Language
--------
- [Stabilize `#![feature(let_chains)]` in the 2024 edition.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/132833)
  This feature allows `&&`-chaining `let` statements inside `if` and `while`, allowing intermixture with boolean expressions. The patterns inside the `let` sub-expressions can be irrefutable or refutable.
- [Stabilize `#![feature(naked_functions)]`.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/134213)
  Naked functions allow writing functions with no compiler-generated epilogue and prologue, allowing full control over the generated assembly for a particular function.
- [Stabilize `#![feature(cfg_boolean_literals)]`.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/138632)
  This allows using boolean literals as `cfg` predicates, e.g. `#[cfg(true)]` and `#[cfg(false)]`.
- [Fully de-stabilize the `#[bench]` attribute](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/134273). Usage of `#[bench]` without `#![feature(custom_test_frameworks)]` already triggered a deny-by-default future-incompatibility lint since Rust 1.77, but will now become a hard error.
- [Add warn-by-default `dangerous_implicit_autorefs` lint against implicit autoref of raw pointer dereference.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/123239)
  The lint [will be bumped to deny-by-default](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/141661) in the next version of Rust.
- [Add `invalid_null_arguments` lint to prevent invalid usage of null pointers.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/119220)
  This lint is uplifted from `clippy::invalid_null_ptr_usage`.
- [Change trait impl candidate preference for builtin impls and trivial where-clauses.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/138176)
- [Check types of generic const parameter defaults](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/139646)

<a id="1.88.0-Compatibility-Notes"></a>

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Finish changing the internal representation of pasted tokens](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/124141). Certain invalid declarative macros that were previously accepted in obscure circumstances are now correctly rejected by the compiler. Use of a `tt` fragment specifier can often fix these macros.
- [Fully de-stabilize the `#[bench]` attribute](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/134273). Usage of `#[bench]` without `#![feature(custom_test_frameworks)]` already triggered a deny-by-default future-incompatibility lint since Rust 1.77, but will now become a hard error.
- [Fix borrow checking some always-true patterns.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/139042)
  The borrow checker was overly permissive in some cases, allowing programs that shouldn't have compiled.
- [Update the minimum external LLVM to 19.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/139275)
- [Make it a hard error to use a vector type with a non-Rust ABI without enabling the required target feature.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/139309)

<a id="1.85.0-Compatibility-Notes"></a>

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [`rustc` no longer treats the `test` cfg as a well known check-cfg](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/131729), instead it is up to the build systems and users of `--check-cfg`[^check-cfg] to set it as a well known cfg using `--check-cfg=cfg(test)`.

  This is done to enable build systems like Cargo to set it conditionally, as not all source files are suitable for unit tests.
  [Cargo (for now) unconditionally sets the `test` cfg as a well known cfg](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/14963).
  [^check-cfg]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/check-cfg.html
- [Disable potentially incorrect type inference if there are trivial and non-trivial where-clauses](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/132325)
- `std::env::home_dir()` has been deprecated for years, because it can give surprising results in some Windows configurations if the `HOME` environment variable is set (which is not the normal configuration on Windows). We had previously avoided changing its behavior, out of concern for compatibility with code depending on this non-standard configuration. Given how long this function has been deprecated, we're now fixing its behavior as a bugfix. A subsequent release will remove the deprecation for this function.
- [Make `core::ffi::c_char` signedness more closely match that of the platform-default `char`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/132975)

  This changed `c_char` from an `i8` to `u8` or vice versa on many Tier 2 and 3
  targets (mostly Arm and RISC-V embedded targets). The new definition may
  result in compilation failures but fixes compatibility issues with C.

  The `libc` crate matches this change as of its 0.2.169 release.
- [When compiling a nested `macro_rules` macro from an external crate, the content of the inner `macro_rules` is now built with the edition of the external crate, not the local crate.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/133274)
- [Increase `sparcv9-sun-solaris` and `x86_64-pc-solaris` Solaris baseline to 11.4.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/133293)
- [Show `abi_unsupported_vector_types` lint in future breakage reports](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/133374)
- [Error if multiple super-trait instantiations of `dyn Trait` need associated types to be specified but only one is provided](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/133392)

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Enable by default the `LSX` target feature for LoongArch Linux targets](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/132140)
- [The unstable `-Zprofile` flag (“gcov-style” coverage instrumentation) has been removed.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/131829) This does not affect the stable flags for coverage instrumentation (`-Cinstrument-coverage`) and profile-guided optimization (`-Cprofile-generate`, `-Cprofile-use`), which are unrelated and remain available.
- Support for the target named `wasm32-wasi` has been removed as the target is now named `wasm32-wasip1`. This completes the [transition](https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/607) [plan](https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/695) for this target following [the introduction of `wasm32-wasip1`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120468) in Rust 1.78. Compiler warnings on [use of `wasm32-wasi`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/126662) introduced in Rust 1.81 are now gone as well as the target is removed.
- [The syntax `&pin (mut|const) T` is now parsed as a type which in theory could affect macro expansion results in some edge cases](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/130635#issuecomment-2375462821)
- [Legacy syntax for calling `std::arch` functions is no longer permitted to declare items or bodies (such as closures, inline consts, or async blocks).](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/130443#issuecomment-2445678945)
- [Declaring functions with a calling convention not supported on the current target now triggers a hard error](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129935)
- [The next-generation trait solver is now enabled for coherence, fixing multiple soundness issues](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/130654)

<a id="1.83.0-Cargo"></a>

Cargo
-----
- [Introduced a new `CARGO_MANIFEST_PATH` environment variable, similar to `CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR` but pointing directly to the manifest file.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/14404/)
- [Added `package.autolib` to the manifest, allowing `[lib]` auto-discovery to be disabled.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/14591/)
- [Declare support level for each crate in Cargo's Charter / crate docs.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/14600/)
- [Declare new Intentional Artifacts as 'small' changes.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/14599/)


<a id="1.83-Rustdoc"></a>

Rustdoc
-------

- [The sidebar / hamburger menu table of contents now includes the `# headers` from the main item's doc comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120736). This is similar to a third-party feature provided by the rustdoc-search-enhancements browser extension.


<a id="1.83.0-Compatibility-Notes"></a>

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Warn against function pointers using unsupported ABI strings.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/128784)
- [Check well-formedness of the source type's signature in fn pointer casts.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129021) This partly closes a soundness hole that comes when casting a function item to function pointer
- [Use equality instead of subtyping when resolving type dependent paths.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129073)
- Linking on macOS now correctly includes Rust's default deployment target. Due to a linker bug, you might have to pass `MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET` or fix your `#[link]` attributes to point to the correct frameworks. See <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129369>.
- [Rust will now correctly raise an error for `repr(Rust)` written on non-`struct`/`enum`/`union` items, since it previous did not have any effect.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129422)
- The future incompatibility lint `deprecated_cfg_attr_crate_type_name` [has been made into a hard error](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129670). It was used to deny usage of `#![crate_type]` and `#![crate_name]` attributes in `#![cfg_attr]`, which required a hack in the compiler to be able to change the used crate type and crate name after cfg expansion.
  Users can use `--crate-type` instead of `#![cfg_attr(..., crate_type = "...")]` and `--crate-name` instead of `#![cfg_attr(..., crate_name = "...")]` when running `rustc`/`cargo rustc` on the command line.
  Use of those two attributes outside of `#![cfg_attr]` continue to be fully supported.
- Until now, paths into the sysroot were always prefixed with `/rustc/$hash` in diagnostics, codegen, backtrace, e.g.
    ```
    thread 'main' panicked at 'hello world', map-panic.rs:2:50
    stack backtrace:
       0: std::panicking::begin_panic
                 at /rustc/a55dd71d5fb0ec5a6a3a9e8c27b2127ba491ce52/library/std/src/panicking.rs:616:12

    note: Some details are omitted, run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=full` for a verbose backtrace.
    ```
    [RFC 3127 said](https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/3127-trim-paths.html#changing-handling-of-sysroot-path-in-rustc)
    > We want to change this behaviour such that, when `rust-src` source files can be discovered, the virtual path is discarded and therefore the local path will be embedded, unless there is a `--remap-path-prefix` that causes this local path to be remapped in the usual way.

    [#129687](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/129687) implements this behaviour, when `rust-src` is present at compile time, `rustc` replaces `/rustc/$hash` with a real path into the local `rust-src` component with best effort.
    To sanitize this, users must explicitly supply `--remap-path-prefix=<path to rust-src>=foo` or not have the `rust-src` component installed.
 - The allow-by-default `missing_docs` lint used to disable itself when invoked through `rustc --test`/`cargo test`, resulting in `#[expect(missing_docs)]` emitting false positives due to the expectation being wrongly unfulfilled. This behavior [has now been removed](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/130025), which allows `#[expect(missing_docs)]` to be fulfilled in all scenarios, but will also report new `missing_docs` diagnostics for publicly reachable `#[cfg(test)]` items, [integration test](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/cargo-targets.html#integration-tests) crate-level documentation, and publicly reachable items in integration tests.

Cargo
-----
- [feat: Add `info` cargo subcommand](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/14141/)

<a id="1.82.0-Compatibility-Notes"></a>

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
 - We now [disallow setting some built-in cfgs via the command-line](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/126158) with the newly added [`explicit_builtin_cfgs_in_flags`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/lints/listing/deny-by-default.html#explicit-builtin-cfgs-in-flags) lint in order to prevent incoherent state, eg. `windows` cfg active but target is Linux based. The appropriate [`rustc` flag](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/command-line-arguments.html) should be used instead.
- The standard library has a new implementation of `binary_search` which is significantly improves performance ([#128254](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/128254)). However when a sorted slice has multiple values which compare equal, the new implementation may select a different value among the equal ones than the old implementation.
- [illumos/Solaris now sets `MSG_NOSIGNAL` when writing to sockets](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/128259). This avoids killing the process with SIGPIPE when writing to a closed socket, which matches the existing behavior on other UNIX targets.
- [Removes a problematic hack that always passed the --whole-archive linker flag for tests, which may cause linker errors for code accidentally relying on it.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/128400)
- The WebAssembly target features `multivalue` and `reference-types` are now
  both enabled by default. These two features both have subtle changes implied
  for generated WebAssembly binaries. For the `multivalue` feature, WebAssembly
  target support has changed when upgrading to LLVM 19. Support for generating
  functions with multiple returns no longer works and
  `-Ctarget-feature=+multivalue` has a different meaning than it did in LLVM 18
  and prior. There is no longer any supported means to generate a module that has
  a function with multiple returns in WebAssembly from Rust source code. For the
  `reference-types` feature the encoding of immediates in the `call_indirect`, a
  commonly used instruction by the WebAssembly backend, has changed. Validators
  and parsers which don't understand the `reference-types` proposal will no
  longer accept modules produced by LLVM due to this change in encoding of
  immediates. Additionally these features being enabled are encoded in the
  `target_features` custom section and may affect downstream tooling such as
  `wasm-opt` consuming the module. Generating a WebAssembly module that disables
  default features requires `-Zbuild-std` support from Cargo and more information
  can be found at
  [rust-lang/rust#128511](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/128511).

<a id="1.81.0-Compatibility-Notes"></a>

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

* Usage of the `wasm32-wasi` target will now issue a compiler warning and request users switch to the `wasm32-wasip1` target instead. Both targets are the same, `wasm32-wasi` is only being renamed, and this [change to the WASI target](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/04/09/updates-to-rusts-wasi-targets.html) is being done to enable removing `wasm32-wasi` in January 2025.

* We have renamed `std::panic::PanicInfo` to `std::panic::PanicHookInfo`. The old name will continue to work as an alias, but will result in a deprecation warning starting in Rust 1.82.0.

  `core::panic::PanicInfo` will remain unchanged, however, as this is now a *different type*.

  The reason is that these types have different roles: `std::panic::PanicHookInfo` is the argument to the [panic hook](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/panic/fn.set_hook.html) in std context (where panics can have an arbitrary payload), while `core::panic::PanicInfo` is the argument to the [`#[panic_handler]`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/panic-handler.html) in no_std context (where panics always carry a formatted *message*). Separating these types allows us to add more useful methods to these types, such as `std::panic::PanicHookInfo::payload_as_str()` and `core::panic::PanicInfo::message()`.

* The new sort implementations may panic if a type's implementation of [`Ord`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/cmp/trait.Ord.html) (or the given comparison function) does not implement a [total order](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_order) as the trait requires. `Ord`'s supertraits (`PartialOrd`, `Eq`, and `PartialEq`) must also be consistent. The previous implementations would not "notice" any problem, but the new implementations have a good chance of detecting inconsistencies, throwing a panic rather than returning knowingly unsorted data.
* [In very rare cases, a change in the internal evaluation order of the trait
  solver may result in new fatal overflow errors.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/126128)

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- [Many unsafe precondition checks now run for user code with debug assertions enabled](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120594/)
  This change helps users catch undefined behavior in their code, though the details of how much is checked are generally not stable.
- [riscv only supports split_debuginfo=off for now](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120518/)
- [Consistently check bounds on hidden types of `impl Trait`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/121679)
- [Change equality of higher ranked types to not rely on subtyping](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/118247)
- [When called, additionally check bounds on normalized function return type](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/118882)
- [Expand coverage for `arithmetic_overflow` lint](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/119432/)
- [Fix detection of potential interior mutability in `const` initializers](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/121250)
  This code was accidentally accepted. The fix can break generic code that borrows a value of unknown type,
  as there is currently no way to declare "this type has no interior mutability". In the future, stabilizing
  the [`Freeze` trait](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/121675) will allow proper support for such code.

<a id="1.76.0-Compatibility-Notes"></a>

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Add allow-by-default lint for unit bindings](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/112380/)
  This is expected to be upgraded to a warning by default in a future Rust
  release. Some macros emit bindings with type `()` with user-provided spans,
  which means that this lint will warn for user code.
- [Remove x86_64-sun-solaris target.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/118091/)
- [Remove asmjs-unknown-emscripten target](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/117338/)
- [Report errors in jobserver inherited through environment variables](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/113730/)
  This [may warn](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/120515) on benign problems too.
- [Update the minimum external LLVM to 16.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/117947/)
- [Improve `print_tts`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/114571/)
  This change can break some naive manual parsing of token trees in proc macro
  code which expect a particular structure after `.to_string()`, rather than just arbitrary Rust code.
- [Make `IMPLIED_BOUNDS_ENTAILMENT` into a hard error from a lint](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/117984/)
- [Vec's allocation behavior was changed when collecting some iterators](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/110353)
  Allocation behavior is currently not specified, nevertheless changes can be surprising.
  See [`impl FromIterator for Vec`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/vec/struct.Vec.html#impl-FromIterator%3CT%3E-for-Vec%3CT%3E)
  for more details.
- [Properly reject `default` on free const items](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/117818/)

Libraries
---------
- [Rework handling of recursive panics.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/110975/)
  Additional panics are allowed while unwinding, as long as they are caught before escaping
  a `Drop` implementation, but panicking within a panic hook is now an immediate abort.
- [Loosen `From<&[T]> for Box<[T]>` bound to `T: Clone`.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/103406/)
- [Remove unnecessary `T: Send` bound](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/111134/)
  in `Error for mpsc::SendError<T>` and `TrySendError<T>`.
- [Fix docs for `alloc::realloc`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/108630/)
  to match `Layout` requirements that the size must not exceed `isize::MAX`.
- [Document `const {}` syntax for `std::thread_local`.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/110620/)

----

<a id="1.71.0-Compatibility-Notes"></a>

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- [Remove structural match from `TypeId`.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/103291/)
  Code that uses a constant `TypeId` in a pattern will potentially be broken.
  Known cases have already been fixed -- in particular, users of the `log`
  crate's `kv_unstable` feature should update to `log v0.4.18` or later.
- [Add a `sysroot` crate to represent the standard library crates.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/108865/)
  This does not affect stable users, but may require adjustment in tools that build their own standard library.
- [Cargo optimizes its usage under `rustup`.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11917/) When
  Cargo detects it will run `rustc` pointing to a rustup proxy, it'll try bypassing the proxy and
  use the underlying binary directly. There are assumptions around the interaction with rustup and
  `RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN`. However, it's not expected to affect normal users.
- [When querying a package, Cargo tries only the original name, all hyphens, and all underscores to
  handle misspellings.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/12083/) Previously, Cargo tried each
  combination of hyphens and underscores, causing excessive requests to crates.io.
- Cargo now [disallows `RUSTUP_HOME`](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/12101/) and
  [`RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN`](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/12107/) in the `[env]` configuration
  table. This is considered to be not a use case Cargo would like to support, since it will likely
  cause problems or lead to confusion.

tools.


Version 1.70.0 (2023-06-01)
==========================

<a id="1.70.0-Language"></a>

Language
--------
- [Relax ordering rules for `asm!` operands](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/105798/)
- [Properly allow macro expanded `format_args` invocations to uses captures](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/106505/)
- [Lint ambiguous glob re-exports](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/107880/)
- [Perform const and unsafe checking for expressions in `let _ = expr` position.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/102256/)

<a id="1.70.0-Compiler"></a>

Compiler
--------
- [Extend -Cdebuginfo with new options and named aliases](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/109808/)
  This provides a smaller version of debuginfo for cases that only need line number information
  (`-Cdebuginfo=line-tables-only`), which may eventually become the default for `-Cdebuginfo=1`.

- [Search by macro when query ends with `!`.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/108143/)

<a id="1.69.0-Compatibility-Notes"></a>

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- [The `rust-analysis` component from `rustup` now only contains a warning placeholder.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/101841/) This was primarily intended for RLS, and the corresponding `-Zsave-analysis` flag has been removed from the compiler as well.
- [Unaligned references to packed fields are now a hard error.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/102513/) This has been a warning since 1.53, and denied by default with a future-compatibility warning since 1.62.
- [Update the minimum external LLVM to 14.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/107573/)
- [Cargo now emits errors on invalid characters in a registry token.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11600/)
- [When `default-features` is set to false of a workspace dependency, and an inherited dependency of a member has `default-features = true`, Cargo will enable default features of that dependency.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11409/)
- [Cargo denies `CARGO_HOME` in the `[env]` configuration table. Cargo itself doesn't pick up this value, but recursive calls to cargo would, which was not intended.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11644/)
- [Debuginfo for build dependencies is now off if not explicitly set. This is expected to improve the overall build time.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11252/)
- [The Rust distribution no longer always includes rustdoc](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/106886)
  If `tools = [...]` is set in bootstrap.toml, we will respect a missing rustdoc in that list. By
  default rustdoc remains included. To retain the prior behavior explicitly add `"rustdoc"` to the
  list.

<a id="1.69.0-Internal-Changes"></a>

Internal Changes
----------------

These changes do not affect any public interfaces of Rust, but they represent
significant improvements to the performance or internals of rustc and related
tools.

- [Move `format_args!()` into AST (and expand it during AST lowering)](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/106745/)

Version 1.68.2 (2023-03-28)
===========================

- [Update the GitHub RSA host key bundled within Cargo](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11883).
  The key was [rotated by GitHub](https://github.blog/2023-03-23-we-updated-our-rsa-ssh-host-key/)
  on 2023-03-24 after the old one leaked.
- [Mark the old GitHub RSA host key as revoked](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11889).
  This will prevent Cargo from accepting the leaked key even when trusted by
  the system.
- [Add support for `@revoked` and a better error message for `@cert-authority` in Cargo's SSH host key verification](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11635)

Version 1.68.1 (2023-03-23)
===========================

- [Fix miscompilation in produced Windows MSVC artifacts](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/109094)
  This was introduced by enabling ThinLTO for the distributed rustc which led
  to miscompilations in the resulting binary. Currently this is believed to be
  limited to the -Zdylib-lto flag used for rustc compilation, rather than a
  general bug in ThinLTO, so only rustc artifacts should be affected.
- [Fix --enable-local-rust builds](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/109111/)
- [Treat `$prefix-clang` as `clang` in linker detection code](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/109156)
- [Fix panic in compiler code](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/108162)

==========================

<a id="1.68.0-Language"></a>

Language
--------

- [Stabilize default_alloc_error_handler](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/102318/)
  This allows usage of `alloc` on stable without requiring the
  definition of a handler for allocation failure. Defining custom handlers is still unstable.
- [Stabilize `efiapi` calling convention.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/105795/)

<a id="1.67.0-Compatibility-Notes"></a>

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- [The layout of `repr(Rust)` types now groups m\*2^n-sized fields with
  equivalently aligned ones.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/102750/)
  This is intended to be an optimization, but it is also known to increase type
  sizes in a few cases for the placement of enum tags. As a reminder, the layout
  of `repr(Rust)` types is an implementation detail, subject to change.
- [0.5 now rounds to 0 when formatted to 0 decimal places.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/102935/)
  This makes it consistent with the rest of floating point formatting that
  rounds ties toward even digits.
- [Chains of `&&` and `||` will now drop temporaries from their sub-expressions in
  evaluation order, left-to-right.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/103293/)
  Previously, it was "twisted" such that the _first_ expression dropped its
  temporaries _last_, after all of the other expressions dropped in order.
- [Underscore suffixes on string literals are now a hard error.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/103914/)
  This has been a future-compatibility warning since 1.20.0.
- [Stop passing `-export-dynamic` to `wasm-ld`.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/105405/)
- [`main` is now mangled as `__main_void` on `wasm32-wasi`.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/105468/)

  with the same index URL.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10592)

Version 1.66.0 (2022-12-15)
==========================

Language
--------
- [Permit specifying explicit discriminants on all `repr(Int)` enums](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95710/)
  ```rust
  #[repr(u8)]
  enum Foo {
      A(u8) = 0,
      B(i8) = 1,

- [Change constant evaluation errors from a deny-by-default lint to a hard error](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/102091/)
- [Trigger `must_use` on `impl Trait` for supertraits](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/102287/)
  This makes `impl ExactSizeIterator` respect the existing `#[must_use]` annotation on `Iterator`.
- [Allow `..=X` in patterns](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/102275/)
- [Uplift `clippy::for_loops_over_fallibles` lint into rustc](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99696/)

  - Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
    information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries
---------

- [Don't generate `PartialEq::ne` in derive(PartialEq)](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98655/)
- [Windows RNG: Use `BCRYPT_RNG_ALG_HANDLE` by default](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/101325/)

- [`std::layout::Layout` size must not overflow `isize::MAX` when rounded up to `align`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95295)
  This also changes the safety conditions on `Layout::from_size_align_unchecked`.

Stabilized APIs
---------------

- [`std::backtrace::Backtrace`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/backtrace/struct.Backtrace.html)
- [`Bound::as_ref`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/ops/enum.Bound.html#method.as_ref)

- [`<*mut T>::offset_from`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/primitive.pointer.html#method.offset_from)

Cargo
-----

- [Apply GitHub fast path even for partial hashes](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10807/)
- [Do not add home bin path to PATH if it's already there](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11023/)
- [Take priority into account within the pending queue](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11032/).
  This slightly optimizes job scheduling by Cargo, with typically small improvements on larger crate graph builds.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- [`std::layout::Layout` size must not overflow `isize::MAX` when rounded up to `align`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95295).
  This also changes the safety conditions on `Layout::from_size_align_unchecked`.
- [`PollFn` now only implements `Unpin` if the closure is `Unpin`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/102737).
  This is a possible breaking change if users were relying on the blanket unpin implementation.
  See discussion on the PR for details of why this change was made.
- [Drop ExactSizeIterator impl from std::char::EscapeAscii](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99880)
  This is a backwards-incompatible change to the standard library's surface
  area, but is unlikely to affect real world usage.
- [Do not consider a single repeated lifetime eligible for elision in the return type](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/103450)
  This behavior was unintentionally changed in 1.64.0, and this release reverts that change by making this an error again.
- [Reenable disabled early syntax gates as future-incompatibility lints](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99935/)
- [Update the minimum external LLVM to 13](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/100460/)
- [Don't duplicate file descriptors into stdio fds](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/101426/)
- [Sunset RLS](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/100863/)
- [Deny usage of `#![cfg_attr(..., crate_type = ...)]` to set the crate type](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99784/)
  This strengthens the forward compatibility lint deprecated_cfg_attr_crate_type_name to deny.
- [`llvm-has-rust-patches` allows setting the build system to treat the LLVM as having Rust-specific patches](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/101072)
  This option may need to be set for distributions that are building Rust with a patched LLVM via `llvm-config`, not the built-in LLVM.
- Combining three or more languages (e.g. Objective C, C++ and Rust) into one binary may hit linker limitations when using `lld`. For more information, see [issue 102754][102754].

Internal Changes
----------------

These changes do not affect any public interfaces of Rust, but they represent
significant improvements to the performance or internals of rustc and related
tools.

- [Add `x.sh` and `x.ps1` shell scripts](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99992/)
- [compiletest: use target cfg instead of hard-coded tables](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/100260/)

- [Enable MIR inlining for optimized compilations](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/91743)
  This provides a 3-10% improvement in compiletimes for real world crates. See [perf results](https://perf.rust-lang.org/compare.html?start=aedf78e56b2279cc869962feac5153b6ba7001ed&end=0075bb4fad68e64b6d1be06bf2db366c30bc75e1&stat=instructions:u).

Version 1.64.0 (2022-09-22)
===========================

Language
--------
- [Unions with mutable references or tuples of allowed types are now allowed](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97995/)
- It is now considered valid to deallocate memory pointed to by a shared reference `&T` [if every byte in `T` is inside an `UnsafeCell`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98017/)
- Unused tuple struct fields are now warned against in an allow-by-default lint, [`unused_tuple_struct_fields`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95977/), similar to the existing warning for unused struct fields. This lint will become warn-by-default in the future.

Cargo
-----
- [Packages can now inherit settings from the workspace so that the settings
  can be centralized in one place.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10859) See
  [`workspace.package`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/workspaces.html#the-workspacepackage-table)
  and
  [`workspace.dependencies`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/workspaces.html#the-workspacedependencies-table)
  for more details on how to define these common settings.
- [Cargo commands can now accept multiple `--target` flags to build for
  multiple targets at once](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10766), and the
  [`build.target`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/config.html#buildtarget)
  config option may now take an array of multiple targets.
- [The `--jobs` argument can now take a negative number to count backwards from
  the max CPUs.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10844)
- [`cargo add` will now update `Cargo.lock`.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10902)
- [Added](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10838) the
  [`--crate-type`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/commands/cargo-rustc.html#option-cargo-rustc---crate-type)
  flag to `cargo rustc` to override the crate type.
- [Significantly improved the performance fetching git dependencies from GitHub
  when using a hash in the `rev` field.](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10079)

Misc
----
- [The `rust-analyzer` rustup component is now available on the stable channel.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98640/)

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- The minimum required versions for all `-linux-gnu` targets are now at least kernel 3.2 and glibc 2.17, for targets that previously supported older versions: [Increase the minimum linux-gnu versions](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95026/)
- [Network primitives are now implemented with the ideal Rust layout, not the C system layout](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/78802/). This can cause problems when transmuting the types.
- [Add assertion that `transmute_copy`'s `U` is not larger than `T`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98839/)
- [A soundness bug in `BTreeMap` was fixed](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99413/) that allowed data it was borrowing to be dropped before the container.
- [The Drop behavior of C-like enums cast to ints has changed](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96862/). These are already discouraged by a compiler warning.
- [Relate late-bound closure lifetimes to parent fn in NLL](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98835/)
- [Errors at const-eval time are now in future incompatibility reports](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97743/)
- On the `thumbv6m-none-eabi` target, some incorrect `asm!` statements were erroneously accepted if they used the high registers (r8 to r14) as an input/output operand. [This is no longer accepted](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99155/).
- [`impl Trait` was accidentally accepted as the associated type value of return-position `impl Trait`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97346/), without fulfilling all the trait bounds of that associated type, as long as the hidden type satisfies said bounds. This has been fixed.

Internal Changes
----------------

These changes do not affect any public interfaces of Rust, but they represent
significant improvements to the performance or internals of rustc and related
tools.

- Windows builds now use profile-guided optimization, providing 10-20% improvements to compiler performance: [Utilize PGO for windows x64 rustc dist builds](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96978/)

  - [Many small deriving cleanups](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98741/)
  - [More derive output improvements](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98758/)
  - [Clarify deriving code](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98915/)
  - [Final derive output improvements](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99046/)
  - [Stop injecting `#[allow(unused_qualifications)]` in generated `derive` implementations](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99485/)
  - [Improve `derive(Debug)`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98190/)
- [Bump to clap 3](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98213/)
- [fully move dropck to mir](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98641/)
- [Optimize `Vec::insert` for the case where `index == len`.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98755/)

Version 1.62.1 (2022-07-19)
==========================

Rust 1.62.1 addresses a few recent regressions in the compiler and standard
library, and also mitigates a CPU vulnerability on Intel SGX.

* [The compiler fixed unsound function coercions involving `impl Trait` return types.][98608]
* [The compiler fixed an incremental compilation bug with `async fn` lifetimes.][98890]
* [Windows added a fallback for overlapped I/O in synchronous reads and writes.][98950]
* [The `x86_64-fortanix-unknown-sgx` target added a mitigation for the
  MMIO stale data vulnerability][98126], advisory [INTEL-SA-00615].

Version 1.62.0 (2022-06-30)
==========================

Language
--------

- [Stabilize `#[derive(Default)]` on enums with a `#[default]` variant][94457]
- [Teach flow sensitive checks that visibly uninhabited call expressions never return][93313]
- [Fix constants not getting dropped if part of a diverging expression][94775]
- [Support unit struct/enum variant in destructuring assignment][95380]
- [Remove mutable_borrow_reservation_conflict lint and allow the code pattern][96268]
- [`const` functions may now specify `extern "C"` or `extern "Rust"`][95346]

Compiler
--------

- [linker: Stop using whole-archive on dependencies of dylibs][96436]
- [Make `unaligned_references` lint deny-by-default][95372]
  This lint is also a future compatibility lint, and is expected to eventually
  become a hard error.
- [Only add codegen backend to dep info if -Zbinary-dep-depinfo is used][93969]
- [Reject `#[thread_local]` attribute on non-static items][95006]
- [Add tier 3 `aarch64-pc-windows-gnullvm` and `x86_64-pc-windows-gnullvm` targets\*][94872]
- [Implement a lint to warn about unused macro rules][96150]
- [Promote `x86_64-unknown-none` target to Tier 2\*][95705]

\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
   information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries
---------

- [Windows: Use a pipe relay for chaining pipes][95841]
- [Replace Linux Mutex and Condvar with futex based ones.][95035]
- [Replace RwLock by a futex based one on Linux][95801]
- [std: directly use pthread in UNIX parker implementation][96393]

Stabilized APIs
---------------

- [`bool::then_some`]
- [`f32::total_cmp`]
- [`f64::total_cmp`]
- [`Stdin::lines`]
- [`windows::CommandExt::raw_arg`]
- [`impl<T: Default> Default for AssertUnwindSafe<T>`]

Clippy
------

- [Create clippy lint against unexpectedly late drop for temporaries in match scrutinee expressions][94206]

Cargo
-----

- Added the `cargo add` command for adding dependencies to `Cargo.toml` from
  the command-line.
  [docs](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/commands/cargo-add.html)
- Package ID specs now support `name@version` syntax in addition to the
  previous `name:version` to align with the behavior in `cargo add` and other
  tools. `cargo install` and `cargo yank` also now support this syntax so the
  version does not need to passed as a separate flag.
- The `git` and `registry` directories in Cargo's home directory (usually
  `~/.cargo`) are now marked as cache directories so that they are not
  included in backups or content indexing (on Windows).
- Added automatic `@` argfile support, which will use "response files" if the
  command-line to `rustc` exceeds the operating system's limit.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- `cargo test` now passes `--target` to `rustdoc` if the specified target is
  the same as the host target.
  [#10594](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/10594)
- [rustdoc: doctests are now run on unexported `macro_rules!` macros, matching other private items][96630]
- [rustdoc: Remove .woff font files][96279]
- [Enforce Copy bounds for repeat elements while considering lifetimes][95819]
- [Windows: Fix potential unsoundness by aborting if `File` reads or writes cannot
  complete synchronously][95469].

Internal Changes
----------------

- [Unify ReentrantMutex implementations across all platforms][96042]

These changes provide no direct user facing benefits, but represent significant
improvements to the internals and overall performance of rustc
and related tools.

Version 1.61.0 (2022-05-19)
==========================

Language
--------

- [`const fn` signatures can now include generic trait bounds][93827]
- [`const fn` signatures can now use `impl Trait` in argument and return position][93827]
- [Function pointers can now be created, cast, and passed around in a `const fn`][93827]
- [Recursive calls can now set the value of a function's opaque `impl Trait` return type][94081]

Compiler
--------

- [Linking modifier syntax in `#[link]` attributes and on the command line, as well as the `whole-archive` modifier specifically, are now supported][93901]
- [The `char` type is now described as UTF-32 in debuginfo][89887]
- The [`#[target_feature]`][target_feature] attribute [can now be used with aarch64 features][90621]
- X86 [`#[target_feature = "adx"]` is now stable][93745]

Libraries
---------

- [`ManuallyDrop<T>` is now documented to have the same layout as `T`][88375]
- [`#[ignore = "…"]` messages are printed when running tests][92714]
- [Consistently show absent stdio handles on Windows as NULL handles][93263]
- [Make `std::io::stdio::lock()` return `'static` handles.][93965] Previously, the creation of locked handles to stdin/stdout/stderr would borrow the handles being locked, which prevented writing `let out = std::io::stdout().lock();` because `out` would outlive the return value of `stdout()`. Such code now works, eliminating a common pitfall that affected many Rust users.
- [`Vec::from_raw_parts` is now less restrictive about its inputs][95016]
- [`std::thread::available_parallelism` now takes cgroup quotas into account.][92697] Since `available_parallelism` is often used to create a thread pool for parallel computation, which may be CPU-bound for performance, `available_parallelism` will return a value consistent with the ability to use that many threads continuously, if possible. For instance, in a container with 8 virtual CPUs but quotas only allowing for 50% usage, `available_parallelism` will return 4.

Stabilized APIs
---------------

- [`Pin::static_mut`]
- [`Pin::static_ref`]
- [`Vec::retain_mut`]
- [`VecDeque::retain_mut`]
- [`Write` for `Cursor<[u8; N]>`][cursor-write-array]
- [`std::os::unix::net::SocketAddr::from_pathname`]
- [`std::process::ExitCode`] and [`std::process::Termination`]. The stabilization of these two APIs now makes it possible for programs to return errors from `main` with custom exit codes.
- [`std::thread::JoinHandle::is_finished`]

These APIs are now usable in const contexts:

- [`<*const T>::offset` and `<*mut T>::offset`][ptr-offset]
- [`<*const T>::wrapping_offset` and `<*mut T>::wrapping_offset`][ptr-wrapping_offset]
- [`<*const T>::add` and `<*mut T>::add`][ptr-add]
- [`<*const T>::sub` and `<*mut T>::sub`][ptr-sub]
- [`<*const T>::wrapping_add` and `<*mut T>::wrapping_add`][ptr-wrapping_add]
- [`<*const T>::wrapping_sub` and `<*mut T>::wrapping_sub`][ptr-wrapping_sub]
- [`<[T]>::as_mut_ptr`][slice-as_mut_ptr]
- [`<[T]>::as_ptr_range`][slice-as_ptr_range]
- [`<[T]>::as_mut_ptr_range`][slice-as_mut_ptr_range]

Cargo
-----

No feature changes, but see compatibility notes.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- Previously native static libraries were linked as `whole-archive` in some cases, but now rustc tries not to use `whole-archive` unless explicitly requested. This [change][93901] may result in linking errors in some cases. To fix such errors, native libraries linked from the command line, build scripts, or [`#[link]` attributes][link-attr] need to
  - (more common) either be reordered to respect dependencies between them (if `a` depends on `b` then `a` should go first and `b` second)
  - (less common) or be updated to use the [`+whole-archive`] modifier.
- [Catching a second unwind from FFI code while cleaning up from a Rust panic now causes the process to abort][92911]
- [Proc macros no longer see `ident` matchers wrapped in groups][92472]
- [The number of `#` in `r#` raw string literals is now required to be less than 256][95251]
- [When checking that a dyn type satisfies a trait bound, supertrait bounds are now enforced][92285]
- [`cargo vendor` now only accepts one value for each `--sync` flag][cargo/10448]
- [`cfg` predicates in `all()` and `any()` are always evaluated to detect errors, instead of short-circuiting.][94295] The compatibility considerations here arise in nightly-only code that used the short-circuiting behavior of `all` to write something like `cfg(all(feature = "nightly", syntax-requiring-nightly))`, which will now fail to compile. Instead, use either `cfg_attr(feature = "nightly", ...)` or nested uses of `cfg`.
- [bootstrap: static-libstdcpp is now enabled by default, and can now be disabled when llvm-tools is enabled][94832]

Internal Changes
----------------

These changes provide no direct user facing benefits, but represent significant
improvements to the internals and overall performance of rustc
and related tools.

- [debuginfo: Refactor debuginfo generation for types][94261]
- [Remove the everybody loops pass][93913]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Remove compiler-rt linking hack on Android][83822]
- [Mitigations for platforms with non-monotonic clocks have been removed from
  `Instant::now`][89926]. On platforms that don't provide monotonic clocks, an
  instant is not guaranteed to be greater than an earlier instant anymore.
- [`Instant::{duration_since, elapsed, sub}` do not panic anymore on underflow,
  saturating to `0` instead][89926]. In the real world the panic happened mostly
  on platforms with buggy monotonic clock implementations rather than catching
  programming errors like reversing the start and end times. Such programming
  errors will now results in `0` rather than a panic.
- In a future release we're planning to increase the baseline requirements for
  the Linux kernel to version 3.2, and for glibc to version 2.17. We'd love
  your feedback in [PR #95026][95026].

Version 1.59.0 (2022-02-24)
==========================

Language
--------

- [Stabilize default arguments for const parameters and remove the ordering restriction for type and const parameters][90207]
- [Stabilize destructuring assignment][90521]
- [Relax private in public lint on generic bounds and where clauses of trait impls][90586]
- [Stabilize asm! and global_asm! for x86, x86_64, ARM, Aarch64, and RISC-V][91728]

Compiler
--------

- [Stabilize new symbol mangling format, leaving it opt-in (-Csymbol-mangling-version=v0)][90128]
- [Emit LLVM optimization remarks when enabled with `-Cremark`][90833]
- [Fix sparc64 ABI for aggregates with floating point members][91003]
- [Warn when a `#[test]`-like built-in attribute macro is present multiple times.][91172]
- [Add support for riscv64gc-unknown-freebsd][91284]
- [Stabilize `-Z emit-future-incompat` as `--json future-incompat`][91535]
- [Soft disable incremental compilation][94124]

This release disables incremental compilation, unless the user has explicitly
opted in via the newly added RUSTC_FORCE_INCREMENTAL=1 environment variable.
This is due to a known and relatively frequently occurring bug in incremental
compilation, which causes builds to issue internal compiler errors. This
particular bug is already fixed on nightly, but that fix has not yet rolled out
to stable and is deemed too risky for a direct stable backport.

As always, we encourage users to test with nightly and report bugs so that we
can track failures and fix issues earlier.

See [94124] for more details.

Cargo
-----

- [Stabilize the `strip` profile option][cargo/10088]
- [Stabilize future-incompat-report][cargo/10165]
- [Support abbreviating `--release` as `-r`][cargo/10133]
- [Support `term.quiet` configuration][cargo/10152]
- [Remove `--host` from cargo {publish,search,login}][cargo/10145]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- [Refactor weak symbols in std::sys::unix][90846]
  This may add new, versioned, symbols when building with a newer glibc, as the
  standard library uses weak linkage rather than dynamically attempting to load
  certain symbols at runtime.
- [Deprecate crate_type and crate_name nested inside `#![cfg_attr]`][83744]
  This adds a future compatibility lint to supporting the use of cfg_attr
  wrapping either crate_type or crate_name specification within Rust files;
  it is recommended that users migrate to setting the equivalent command line
  flags.
- [Remove effect of `#[no_link]` attribute on name resolution][92034]
  This may expose new names, leading to conflicts with preexisting names in a
  given namespace and a compilation failure.
- [Cargo will document libraries before binaries.][cargo/10172]
- [Respect doc=false in dependencies, not just the root crate][cargo/10201]
- [Weaken guarantee around advancing underlying iterators in zip][83791]
- [Make split_inclusive() on an empty slice yield an empty output][89825]
- [Update std::env::temp_dir to use GetTempPath2 on Windows when available.][89999]
- [unreachable! was updated to match other formatting macro behavior on Rust 2021][92137]

Internal Changes
----------------

These changes provide no direct user facing benefits, but represent significant
improvements to the internals and overall performance of rustc
and related tools.

- [Fix many cases of normalization-related ICEs][91255]
- [Replace dominators algorithm with simple Lengauer-Tarjan][85013]
- [Store liveness in interval sets for region inference][90637]

- [Remove `in_band_lifetimes` from the compiler and standard library, in preparation for removing this
  unstable feature.][91867]

Version 1.58.0 (2022-01-13)
==========================

Language
--------

- [Format strings can now capture arguments simply by writing `{ident}` in the string.][90473] This works in all macros accepting format strings. Support for this in `panic!` (`panic!("{ident}")`) requires the 2021 edition; panic invocations in previous editions that appear to be trying to use this will result in a warning lint about not having the intended effect.
- [`*const T` pointers can now be dereferenced in const contexts.][89551]
- [The rules for when a generic struct implements `Unsize` have been relaxed.][90417]

Compiler
--------

- [Add LLVM CFI support to the Rust compiler][89652]
- [Stabilize -Z strip as -C strip][90058]. Note that while release builds already don't add debug symbols for the code you compile, the compiled standard library that ships with Rust includes debug symbols, so you may want to use the `strip` option to remove these symbols to produce smaller release binaries. Note that this release only includes support in rustc, not directly in cargo.
- [Add support for LLVM coverage mapping format versions 5 and 6][91207]
- [Emit LLVM optimization remarks when enabled with `-Cremark`][90833]
- [Update the minimum external LLVM to 12][90175]
- [Add `x86_64-unknown-none` at Tier 3*][89062]
- [Build musl dist artifacts with debuginfo enabled][90733]. When building release binaries using musl, you may want to use the newly stabilized strip option to remove these debug symbols, reducing the size of your binaries.
- [Don't abort compilation after giving a lint error][87337]
- [Error messages point at the source of trait bound obligations in more places][89580]

\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
   information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries
---------

- [All remaining functions in the standard library have `#[must_use]` annotations where appropriate][89692], producing a warning when ignoring their return value. This helps catch mistakes such as expecting a function to mutate a value in place rather than return a new value.
- [Paths are automatically canonicalized on Windows for operations that support it][89174]
- [Re-enable debug checks for `copy` and `copy_nonoverlapping`][90041]
- [Implement `RefUnwindSafe` for `Rc<T>`][87467]
- [Make RSplit<T, P>: Clone not require T: Clone][90117]
- [Implement `Termination` for `Result<Infallible, E>`][88601]. This allows writing `fn main() -> Result<Infallible, ErrorType>`, for a program whose successful exits never involve returning from `main` (for instance, a program that calls `exit`, or that uses `exec` to run another program).

Stabilized APIs
---------------

- [`Metadata::is_symlink`]
- [`Path::is_symlink`]
- [`{integer}::saturating_div`]
- [`Option::unwrap_unchecked`]
- [`Result::unwrap_unchecked`]
- [`Result::unwrap_err_unchecked`]
- [`File::options`]

These APIs are now usable in const contexts:

- [`Duration::new`]
- [`Duration::checked_add`]
- [`Duration::saturating_add`]
- [`Duration::checked_sub`]
- [`Duration::saturating_sub`]
- [`Duration::checked_mul`]
- [`Duration::saturating_mul`]
- [`Duration::checked_div`]

Cargo
-----

- [Add --message-format for install command][cargo/10107]
- [Warn when alias shadows external subcommand][cargo/10082]

Rustdoc
-------

- [Show all Deref implementations recursively in rustdoc][90183]
- [Use computed visibility in rustdoc][88447]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- [Try all stable method candidates first before trying unstable ones][90329]. This change ensures that adding new nightly-only methods to the Rust standard library will not break code invoking methods of the same name from traits outside the standard library.
- Windows: [`std::process::Command` will no longer search the current directory for executables.][87704]
- [All proc-macro backward-compatibility lints are now deny-by-default.][88041]
- [proc_macro: Append .0 to unsuffixed float if it would otherwise become int token][90297]
- [Refactor weak symbols in std::sys::unix][90846]. This optimizes accesses to glibc functions, by avoiding the use of dlopen. This does not increase the [minimum expected version of glibc](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/platform-support.html). However, software distributions that use symbol versions to detect library dependencies, and which take weak symbols into account in that analysis, may detect rust binaries as requiring newer versions of glibc.
- [rustdoc now rejects some unexpected semicolons in doctests][91026]

Internal Changes
----------------

These changes provide no direct user facing benefits, but represent significant
improvements to the internals and overall performance of rustc
and related tools.

- [Implement coherence checks for negative trait impls][90104]
- [Add rustc lint, warning when iterating over hashmaps][89558]
- [Optimize live point computation][90491]
- [Enable verification for 1/32nd of queries loaded from disk][90361]
- [Implement version of normalize_erasing_regions that allows for normalization failure][91255]

Version 1.56.1 (2021-11-01)
===========================

- New lints to detect the presence of bidirectional-override Unicode
  codepoints in the compiled source code ([CVE-2021-42574])

[CVE-2021-42574]: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2021-42574

Version 1.56.0 (2021-10-21)
========================

Language
--------

- [The 2021 Edition is now stable.][rust#88100]
  See [the edition guide][rust-2021-edition-guide] for more details.
- [The pattern in `binding @ pattern` can now also introduce new bindings.][rust#85305]
- [Union field access is permitted in `const fn`.][rust#85769]

[rust-2021-edition-guide]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/edition-guide/rust-2021/index.html

Compiler
--------

- [Upgrade to LLVM 13.][rust#87570]
- [Support memory, address, and thread sanitizers on aarch64-unknown-freebsd.][rust#88023]
- [Allow specifying a deployment target version for all iOS targets][rust#87699]
- [Warnings can be forced on with `--force-warn`.][rust#87472]
  This feature is primarily intended for usage by `cargo fix`, rather than end users.
- [Promote `aarch64-apple-ios-sim` to Tier 2\*.][rust#87760]
- [Add `powerpc-unknown-freebsd` at Tier 3\*.][rust#87370]
- [Add `riscv32imc-esp-espidf` at Tier 3\*.][rust#87666]

\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries
---------

- [Allow writing of incomplete UTF-8 sequences via stdout/stderr on Windows.][rust#83342]
  The Windows console still requires valid Unicode, but this change allows
  splitting a UTF-8 character across multiple write calls. This allows, for
  instance, programs that just read and write data buffers (e.g. copying a file
  to stdout) without regard for Unicode or character boundaries.
- [Prefer `AtomicU{64,128}` over Mutex for Instant backsliding protection.][rust#83093]
  For this use case, atomics scale much better under contention.
- [Implement `Extend<(A, B)>` for `(Extend<A>, Extend<B>)`][rust#85835]
- [impl Default, Copy, Clone for std::io::Sink and std::io::Empty][rust#86744]
- [`impl From<[(K, V); N]>` for all collections.][rust#84111]
- [Remove `P: Unpin` bound on impl Future for Pin.][rust#81363]
- [Treat invalid environment variable names as nonexistent.][rust#86183]
  Previously, the environment functions would panic if given a variable name
  with an internal null character or equal sign (`=`). Now, these functions will
  just treat such names as nonexistent variables, since the OS cannot represent
  the existence of a variable with such a name.

Stabilised APIs
---------------

- [`std::os::unix::fs::chroot`]
- [`UnsafeCell::raw_get`]
- [`BufWriter::into_parts`]
- [`core::panic::{UnwindSafe, RefUnwindSafe, AssertUnwindSafe}`]
  These APIs were previously stable in `std`, but are now also available in `core`.
- [`Vec::shrink_to`]
- [`String::shrink_to`]
- [`OsString::shrink_to`]
- [`PathBuf::shrink_to`]
- [`BinaryHeap::shrink_to`]
- [`VecDeque::shrink_to`]
- [`HashMap::shrink_to`]
- [`HashSet::shrink_to`]

These APIs are now usable in const contexts:

- [`std::mem::transmute`]
- [`[T]::first`][`slice::first`]
- [`[T]::split_first`][`slice::split_first`]
- [`[T]::last`][`slice::last`]
- [`[T]::split_last`][`slice::split_last`]

Cargo
-----

- [Cargo supports specifying a minimum supported Rust version in Cargo.toml.][`rust-version`]
  This has no effect at present on dependency version selection.
  We encourage crates to specify their minimum supported Rust version, and we encourage CI systems
  that support Rust code to include a crate's specified minimum version in the test matrix for that
  crate by default.

Compatibility notes
-------------------

- [Update to new argument parsing rules on Windows.][rust#87580]
  This adjusts Rust's standard library to match the behavior of the standard
  libraries for C/C++. The rules have changed slightly over time, and this PR
  brings us to the latest set of rules (changed in 2008).
- [Disallow the aapcs calling convention on aarch64][rust#88399]
  This was already not supported by LLVM; this change surfaces this lack of
  support with a better error message.
- [Make `SEMICOLON_IN_EXPRESSIONS_FROM_MACROS` warn by default][rust#87385]
- [Warn when an escaped newline skips multiple lines.][rust#87671]
- [Calls to `libc::getpid` / `std::process::id` from `Command::pre_exec`
   may return different values on glibc <= 2.24.][rust#81825]
   Rust now invokes the `clone3` system call directly, when available, to use new functionality
   available via that system call. Older versions of glibc cache the result of `getpid`, and only
   update that cache when calling glibc's clone/fork functions, so a direct system call bypasses
   that cache update. glibc 2.25 and newer no longer cache `getpid` for exactly this reason.

Internal changes
----------------
These changes provide no direct user facing benefits, but represent significant
improvements to the internals and overall performance of rustc
and related tools.

- [LLVM is compiled with PGO in published x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu artifacts.][rust#88069]
  This improves the performance of most Rust builds.
- [Unify representation of macros in internal data structures.][rust#88019]
  This change fixes a host of bugs with the handling of macros by the compiler,
  as well as rustdoc.

Version 1.55.0 (2021-09-09)
============================

Language
--------
- [You can now write open "from" range patterns (`X..`), which will start at `X` and
  will end at the maximum value of the integer.][83918]
- [You can now explicitly import the prelude of different editions
  through `std::prelude` (e.g. `use std::prelude::rust_2021::*;`).][86294]

Compiler
--------
- [Added tier 3\* support for `powerpc64le-unknown-freebsd`.][83572]

\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
   information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries
---------

- [Updated std's float parsing to use the Eisel-Lemire algorithm.][86761]
  These improvements should in general provide faster string parsing of floats,
  no longer reject certain valid floating point values, and reduce
  the produced code size for non-stripped artifacts.
- [`string::Drain` now implements `AsRef<str>` and `AsRef<[u8]>`.][86858]

Stabilised APIs
---------------

- [`Bound::cloned`]
- [`Drain::as_str`]
- [`IntoInnerError::into_error`]
- [`IntoInnerError::into_parts`]
- [`MaybeUninit::assume_init_mut`]
- [`MaybeUninit::assume_init_ref`]
- [`MaybeUninit::write`]
- [`array::map`]
- [`ops::ControlFlow`]
- [`x86::_bittest`]
- [`x86::_bittestandcomplement`]
- [`x86::_bittestandreset`]
- [`x86::_bittestandset`]
- [`x86_64::_bittest64`]
- [`x86_64::_bittestandcomplement64`]
- [`x86_64::_bittestandreset64`]
- [`x86_64::_bittestandset64`]

The following previously stable functions are now `const`.

- [`str::from_utf8_unchecked`]


Cargo
-----
- [Cargo will now deduplicate compiler diagnostics to the terminal when invoking
  rustc in parallel such as when using `cargo test`.][cargo/9675]
- [The package definition in `cargo metadata` now includes the `"default_run"`
  field from the manifest.][cargo/9550]
- [Added `cargo d` as an alias for `cargo doc`.][cargo/9680]
- [Added `{lib}` as formatting option for `cargo tree` to print the `"lib_name"`
  of packages.][cargo/9663]

Rustdoc
-------
- [Added "Go to item on exact match" search option.][85876]
- [The "Implementors" section on traits no longer shows redundant
  method definitions.][85970]
- [Trait implementations are toggled open by default.][86260] This should make the
  implementations more searchable by tools like `CTRL+F` in your browser.
- [Intra-doc links should now correctly resolve associated items (e.g. methods)
  through type aliases.][86334]
- [Traits which are marked with `#[doc(hidden)]` will no longer appear in the
  "Trait Implementations" section.][86513]


Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [std functions that return an `io::Error` will no longer use the
  `ErrorKind::Other` variant.][85746] This is to better reflect that these
  kinds of errors could be categorised [into newer more specific `ErrorKind`
  variants][79965], and that they do not represent a user error.
- [Using environment variable names with `process::Command` on Windows now
  behaves as expected.][85270] Previously using environment variables with
  `Command` would cause them to be ASCII-uppercased.
- [Rustdoc will now warn on using rustdoc lints that aren't prefixed
  with `rustdoc::`][86849]
- `RUSTFLAGS` is no longer set for build scripts. Build scripts
  should use `CARGO_ENCODED_RUSTFLAGS` instead. See the
  [documentation](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/environment-variables.html#environment-variables-cargo-sets-for-build-scripts)
  for more details.

Version 1.54.0 (2021-07-29)
============================

Language
-----------------------

- [You can now use macros for values in some built-in attributes.][83366]
  This primarily allows you to call macros within the `#[doc]` attribute. For
  example, to include external documentation in your crate, you can now write
  the following:
  ```rust
  #![doc = include_str!("README.md")]
  ```

- [You can now cast between unsized slice types (and types which contain
  unsized slices) in `const fn`.][85078]
- [You can now use multiple generic lifetimes with `impl Trait` where the
   lifetimes don't explicitly outlive another.][84701] In code this means
   that you can now have `impl Trait<'a, 'b>` where as before you could
   only have `impl Trait<'a, 'b> where 'b: 'a`.

Compiler
-----------------------

- [Rustc will now search for custom JSON targets in
  `/lib/rustlib/<target-triple>/target.json` where `/` is the "sysroot"
  directory.][83800] You can find your sysroot directory by running
  `rustc --print sysroot`.
- [Added `wasm` as a `target_family` for WebAssembly platforms.][84072]
- [You can now use `#[target_feature]` on safe functions when targeting
  WebAssembly platforms.][84988]
- [Improved debugger output for enums on Windows MSVC platforms.][85292]
- [Added tier 3\* support for `bpfel-unknown-none`
   and `bpfeb-unknown-none`.][79608]
- [`-Zmutable-noalias=yes`][82834] is enabled by default when using LLVM 12 or above.

\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
   information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries
-----------------------

- [`panic::panic_any` will now `#[track_caller]`.][85745]
- [Added `OutOfMemory` as a variant of `io::ErrorKind`.][84744]
- [ `proc_macro::Literal` now implements `FromStr`.][84717]
- [The implementations of vendor intrinsics in core::arch have been
   significantly refactored.][83278] The main user-visible changes are
   a 50% reduction in the size of libcore.rlib and stricter validation
   of constant operands passed to intrinsics. The latter is technically
   a breaking change, but allows Rust to more closely match the C vendor
   intrinsics API.

Stabilized APIs
---------------

- [`BTreeMap::into_keys`]
- [`BTreeMap::into_values`]
- [`HashMap::into_keys`]
- [`HashMap::into_values`]
- [`arch::wasm32`]
- [`VecDeque::binary_search`]
- [`VecDeque::binary_search_by`]
- [`VecDeque::binary_search_by_key`]
- [`VecDeque::partition_point`]

Cargo
-----

- [Added the `--prune <spec>` option to `cargo-tree` to remove a package from
  the dependency graph.][cargo/9520]
- [Added the `--depth` option to `cargo-tree` to print only to a certain depth
  in the tree ][cargo/9499]
- [Added the `no-proc-macro` value to `cargo-tree --edges` to hide procedural
  macro dependencies.][cargo/9488]
- [A new environment variable named `CARGO_TARGET_TMPDIR` is available.][cargo/9375]
  This variable points to a directory that integration tests and benches
  can use as a "scratchpad" for testing filesystem operations.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Mixing Option and Result via `?` is no longer permitted in closures for inferred types.][86831]
- [Previously unsound code is no longer permitted where different constructors in branches
  could require different lifetimes.][85574]
- As previously mentioned the [`std::arch` intrinsics now uses stricter const checking][83278]
  than before and may reject some previously accepted code.
- [`i128` multiplication on Cortex M0+ platforms currently unconditionally causes overflow
   when compiled with `codegen-units = 1`.][86063]

Version 1.53.0 (2021-06-17)
============================

Language
-----------------------
- [You can now use unicode for identifiers.][83799] This allows multilingual
  identifiers but still doesn't allow glyphs that are not considered characters
  such as `◆` or `🦀`. More specifically you can now use any identifier that
  matches the UAX #31 "Unicode Identifier and Pattern Syntax" standard. This
  is the same standard as languages like Python, however Rust uses NFC
  normalization which may be different from other languages.
- [You can now specify "or patterns" inside pattern matches.][79278]
  Previously you could only use `|` (OR) on complete patterns. E.g.
  ```rust
  let x = Some(2u8);
  // Before
  matches!(x, Some(1) | Some(2));
  // Now
  matches!(x, Some(1 | 2));
  ```
- [Added the `:pat_param` `macro_rules!` matcher.][83386] This matcher
  has the same semantics as the `:pat` matcher. This is to allow `:pat`
  to change semantics to being a pattern fragment in a future edition.

Compiler
-----------------------
- [Updated the minimum external LLVM version to LLVM 10.][83387]
- [Added Tier 3\* support for the `wasm64-unknown-unknown` target.][80525]
- [Improved debuginfo for closures and async functions on Windows MSVC.][83941]

\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries
-----------------------
- [Abort messages will now forward to `android_set_abort_message` on
  Android platforms when available.][81469]
- [`slice::IterMut<'_, T>` now implements `AsRef<[T]>`][82771]
- [Arrays of any length now implement `IntoIterator`.][84147]
  Currently calling `.into_iter()` as a method on an array will
  return `impl Iterator<Item=&T>`, but this may change in a
  future edition to change `Item` to `T`. Calling `IntoIterator::into_iter`
  directly on arrays will provide `impl Iterator<Item=T>` as expected.
- [`leading_zeros`, and `trailing_zeros` are now available on all
  `NonZero` integer types.][84082]
- [`{f32, f64}::from_str` now parse and print special values
  (`NaN`, `-0`) according to IEEE 754.][78618]
- [You can now index into slices using `(Bound<usize>, Bound<usize>)`.][77704]
- [Add the `BITS` associated constant to all numeric types.][82565]

Cargo
-----------------------
- [Cargo now supports git repositories where the default `HEAD` branch is not
  "master".][cargo/9392] This also includes a switch to the version 3 `Cargo.lock` format
  which can handle default branches correctly.
- [macOS targets now default to `unpacked` split-debuginfo.][cargo/9298]
- [The `authors` field is no longer included in `Cargo.toml` for new
  projects.][cargo/9282]

Rustdoc
-----------------------
- [Added the `rustdoc::bare_urls` lint that warns when you have URLs
  without hyperlinks.][81764]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Implement token-based handling of attributes during expansion][82608]
- [`Ipv4::from_str` will now reject octal format IP addresses in addition
  to rejecting hexadecimal IP addresses.][83652] The octal format can lead
  to confusion and potential security vulnerabilities and [is no
  longer recommended][ietf6943].
- [The added `BITS` constant may conflict with external definitions.][85667]
  In particular, this was known to be a problem in the `lexical-core` crate,
  but they have published fixes for semantic versions 0.4 through 0.7. To
  update this dependency alone, use `cargo update -p lexical-core`.
- Incremental compilation remains off by default, unless one uses the `RUSTC_FORCE_INCREMENTAL=1` environment variable added in 1.52.1.

Internal Only
-------------
These changes provide no direct user facing benefits, but represent significant
improvements to the internals and overall performance of rustc and
related tools.

- [Rework the `std::sys::windows::alloc` implementation.][83065]

Version 1.52.1 (2021-05-10)
============================

This release disables incremental compilation, unless the user has explicitly
opted in via the newly added RUSTC_FORCE_INCREMENTAL=1 environment variable.

This is due to the widespread, and frequently occurring, breakage encountered by
Rust users due to newly enabled incremental verification in 1.52.0. Notably,
Rust users **should** upgrade to 1.52.0 or 1.52.1: the bugs that are detected by
newly added incremental verification are still present in past stable versions,
and are not yet fixed on any channel. These bugs can lead to miscompilation of
Rust binaries.

These problems only affect incremental builds, so release builds with Cargo
should not be affected unless the user has explicitly opted into incremental.
Debug and check builds are affected.

See [84970] for more details.

[84970]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/84970

Version 1.52.0 (2021-05-06)
============================

Language
--------
- [Added the `unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn` lint, which checks whether the unsafe code
  in an `unsafe fn` is wrapped in a `unsafe` block.][79208] This lint
  is allowed by default, and may become a warning or hard error in a
  future edition.
- [You can now cast mutable references to arrays to a pointer of the same type as
  the element.][81479]

Compiler
--------
- [Upgraded the default LLVM to LLVM 12.][81451]

Added tier 3\* support for the following targets.

- [`s390x-unknown-linux-musl`][82166]
- [`riscv32gc-unknown-linux-musl` & `riscv64gc-unknown-linux-musl`][82202]
- [`powerpc-unknown-openbsd`][82733]

\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries
---------
- [`OsString` now implements `Extend` and `FromIterator`.][82121]
- [`cmp::Reverse` now has `#[repr(transparent)]` representation.][81879]
- [`Arc<impl Error>` now implements `error::Error`.][80553]
- [All integer division and remainder operations are now `const`.][80962]

Stabilised APIs
-------------
- [`Arguments::as_str`]
- [`char::MAX`]
- [`char::REPLACEMENT_CHARACTER`]
- [`char::UNICODE_VERSION`]
- [`char::decode_utf16`]
- [`char::from_digit`]
- [`char::from_u32_unchecked`]
- [`char::from_u32`]
- [`slice::partition_point`]
- [`str::rsplit_once`]
- [`str::split_once`]

The following previously stable APIs are now `const`.

- [`char::len_utf8`]
- [`char::len_utf16`]
- [`char::to_ascii_uppercase`]
- [`char::to_ascii_lowercase`]
- [`char::eq_ignore_ascii_case`]
- [`u8::to_ascii_uppercase`]
- [`u8::to_ascii_lowercase`]
- [`u8::eq_ignore_ascii_case`]

Rustdoc
-------
- [Rustdoc lints are now treated as a tool lint, meaning that
  lints are now prefixed with `rustdoc::` (e.g. `#[warn(rustdoc::broken_intra_doc_links)]`).][80527]
  Using the old style is still allowed, and will become a warning in
  a future release.
- [Rustdoc now supports argument files.][82261]
- [Rustdoc now generates smart punctuation for documentation.][79423]
- [You can now use "task lists" in Rustdoc Markdown.][81766] E.g.
  ```markdown
  - [x] Complete
  - [ ] Todo
  ```

Misc
----
- [You can now pass multiple filters to tests.][81356] E.g.
  `cargo test -- foo bar` will run all tests that match `foo` and `bar`.
- [Rustup now distributes PDB symbols for the `std` library on Windows,
  allowing you to see `std` symbols when debugging.][82218]

Internal Only
-------------
These changes provide no direct user facing benefits, but represent significant
improvements to the internals and overall performance of rustc and
related tools.

- [Check the result cache before the DepGraph when ensuring queries][81855]
- [Try fast_reject::simplify_type in coherence before doing full check][81744]
- [Only store a LocalDefId in some HIR nodes][81611]
- [Store HIR attributes in a side table][79519]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Cargo build scripts are now forbidden from setting `RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP`.][cargo/9181]
- [Removed support for the `x86_64-rumprun-netbsd` target.][82594]
- [Deprecated the `x86_64-sun-solaris` target in favor of `x86_64-pc-solaris`.][82216]
- [Rustdoc now only accepts `,`, ` `, and `\t` as delimiters for specifying
  languages in code blocks.][78429]
- [Rustc now catches more cases of `pub_use_of_private_extern_crate`][80763]
- [Changes in how proc macros handle whitespace may lead to panics when used
  with older `proc-macro-hack` versions. A `cargo update` should be sufficient to fix this in all cases.][84136]
- [Turn `#[derive]` into a regular macro attribute][79078]

Version 1.51.0 (2021-03-25)
============================

Language
--------
- [You can now parameterize items such as functions, traits, and `struct`s by constant
  values in addition to by types and lifetimes.][79135] Also known as "const generics"
  E.g. you can now write the following. Note: Only values of primitive integers,
  `bool`, or `char` types are currently permitted.
  ```rust
  struct GenericArray<T, const LENGTH: usize> {
      inner: [T; LENGTH]
  }

  impl<T, const LENGTH: usize> GenericArray<T, LENGTH> {
      const fn last(&self) -> Option<&T> {
          if LENGTH == 0 {
              None
          } else {
              Some(&self.inner[LENGTH - 1])
          }
      }
  }
  ```


Compiler
--------

- [Added the `-Csplit-debuginfo` codegen option for macOS platforms.][79570]
  This option controls whether debug information is split across multiple files
  or packed into a single file. **Note** This option is unstable on other platforms.
- [Added tier 3\* support for `aarch64_be-unknown-linux-gnu`,
  `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu_ilp32`, and `aarch64_be-unknown-linux-gnu_ilp32` targets.][81455]
- [Added tier 3 support for `i386-unknown-linux-gnu` and `i486-unknown-linux-gnu` targets.][80662]
- [The `target-cpu=native` option will now detect individual features of CPUs.][80749]

\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries
---------

- [`Box::downcast` is now also implemented for any `dyn Any + Send + Sync` object.][80945]
- [`str` now implements `AsMut<str>`.][80279]
- [`u64` and `u128` now implement `From<char>`.][79502]
- [`Error` is now implemented for `&T` where `T` implements `Error`.][75180]
- [`Poll::{map_ok, map_err}` are now implemented for `Poll<Option<Result<T, E>>>`.][80968]
- [`unsigned_abs` is now implemented for all signed integer types.][80959]
- [`io::Empty` now implements `io::Seek`.][78044]
- [`rc::Weak<T>` and `sync::Weak<T>`'s methods such as `as_ptr` are now implemented for
  `T: ?Sized` types.][80764]
- [`Div` and `Rem` by their `NonZero` variant is now implemented for all unsigned integers.][79134]


Stabilized APIs
---------------

- [`Arc::decrement_strong_count`]
- [`Arc::increment_strong_count`]
- [`Once::call_once_force`]
- [`Peekable::next_if_eq`]
- [`Peekable::next_if`]
- [`Seek::stream_position`]
- [`array::IntoIter`]
- [`panic::panic_any`]

- [`slice::strip_suffix`]
- [`str::split_inclusive`]
- [`sync::OnceState`]
- [`task::Wake`]
- [`VecDeque::range`]
- [`VecDeque::range_mut`]

Cargo
-----
- [Added the `split-debuginfo` profile option to control the -Csplit-debuginfo
  codegen option.][cargo/9112]
- [Added the `resolver` field to `Cargo.toml` to enable the new feature resolver
  and CLI option behavior.][cargo/8997] Version 2 of the feature resolver will try
  to avoid unifying features of dependencies where that unification could be unwanted.
  Such as using the same dependency with a `std` feature in a build scripts and
  proc-macros, while using the `no-std` feature in the final binary. See the
  [Cargo book documentation][feature-resolver@2.0] for more information on the feature.

Rustdoc
-------

- [Rustdoc will now include documentation for methods available from _nested_ `Deref` traits.][80653]
- [You can now provide a `--default-theme` flag which sets the default theme to use for
  documentation.][79642]

Various improvements to intra-doc links:

- [You can link to non-path primitives such as `slice`.][80181]
- [You can link to associated items.][74489]
- [You can now include generic parameters when linking to items, like `Vec<T>`.][76934]

Misc
----
- [You can now pass `--include-ignored` to tests (e.g. with
  `cargo test -- --include-ignored`) to include testing tests marked `#[ignore]`.][80053]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- [WASI platforms no longer use the `wasm-bindgen` ABI, and instead use the wasm32 ABI.][79998]
- [`rustc` no longer promotes division, modulo and indexing operations to `const` that
  could fail.][80579]
- [The minimum version of glibc for the following platforms has been bumped to version 2.31
  for the distributed artifacts.][81521]
    - `armv5te-unknown-linux-gnueabi`
    - `sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu`
    - `thumbv7neon-unknown-linux-gnueabihf`
    - `armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabi`
    - `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnux32`
- [`atomic::spin_loop_hint` has been deprecated.][80966] It's recommended to use `hint::spin_loop` instead.

Internal Only
-------------

- [Consistently avoid constructing optimized MIR when not doing codegen][80718]

Version 1.50.0 (2021-02-11)
============================

Language
-----------------------
- [You can now use `const` values for `x` in `[x; N]` array expressions.][79270]
  This has been technically possible since 1.38.0, as it was unintentionally stabilized.
- [Assignments to `ManuallyDrop<T>` union fields are now considered safe.][78068]

Compiler
-----------------------
- [Added tier 3\* support for the `armv5te-unknown-linux-uclibceabi` target.][78142]
- [Added tier 3 support for the `aarch64-apple-ios-macabi` target.][77484]
- [The `x86_64-unknown-freebsd` is now built with the full toolset.][79484]
- [Dropped support for all cloudabi targets.][78439]

\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries
-----------------------

- [`proc_macro::Punct` now implements `PartialEq<char>`.][78636]
- [`ops::{Index, IndexMut}` are now implemented for fixed sized arrays of any length.][74989]
- [On Unix platforms, the `std::fs::File` type now has a "niche" of `-1`.][74699]
  This value cannot be a valid file descriptor, and now means `Option<File>` takes
  up the same amount of space as `File`.

Stabilized APIs
---------------

- [`bool::then`]
- [`btree_map::Entry::or_insert_with_key`]
- [`f32::clamp`]
- [`f64::clamp`]
- [`hash_map::Entry::or_insert_with_key`]
- [`Ord::clamp`]
- [`RefCell::take`]
- [`slice::fill`]
- [`UnsafeCell::get_mut`]

The following previously stable methods are now `const`.

- [`IpAddr::is_ipv4`]
- [`IpAddr::is_ipv6`]
- [`IpAddr::is_unspecified`]
- [`IpAddr::is_loopback`]
- [`IpAddr::is_multicast`]
- [`Ipv4Addr::octets`]
- [`Ipv4Addr::is_loopback`]
- [`Ipv4Addr::is_private`]

- [`Ipv6Addr::is_multicast`]
- [`Ipv6Addr::to_ipv4`]
- [`Layout::size`]
- [`Layout::align`]
- [`Layout::from_size_align`]
- `pow` for all integer types.
- `checked_pow` for all integer types.
- `saturating_pow` for all integer types.
- `wrapping_pow` for all integer types.
- `next_power_of_two` for all unsigned integer types.
- `checked_next_power_of_two` for all unsigned integer types.

Cargo
-----------------------

- [Added the `[build.rustc-workspace-wrapper]` option.][cargo/8976]
  This option sets a wrapper to execute instead of `rustc`, for workspace members only.
- [`cargo:rerun-if-changed` will now, if provided a directory, scan the entire
  contents of that directory for changes.][cargo/8973]
- [Added the `--workspace` flag to the `cargo update` command.][cargo/8725]

Misc
----

- [The search results tab and the help button are focusable with keyboard in rustdoc.][79896]
- [Running tests will now print the total time taken to execute.][75752]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- [The `compare_and_swap` method on atomics has been deprecated.][79261] It's
  recommended to use the `compare_exchange` and `compare_exchange_weak` methods instead.
- [Changes in how `TokenStream`s are checked have fixed some cases where you could write
  unhygenic `macro_rules!` macros.][79472]
- [`#![test]` as an inner attribute is now considered unstable like other inner macro
  attributes, and reports an error by default through the `soft_unstable` lint.][79003]
- [Overriding a `forbid` lint at the same level that it was set is now a hard error.][78864]
- [You can no longer intercept `panic!` calls by supplying your own macro.][78343] It's
  recommended to use the `#[panic_handler]` attribute to provide your own implementation.
- [Semi-colons after item statements (e.g. `struct Foo {};`) now produce a warning.][78296]

Version 1.49.0 (2020-12-31)
============================

Language
-----------------------

- [Unions can now implement `Drop`, and you can now have a field in a union
  with `ManuallyDrop<T>`.][77547]
- [You can now cast uninhabited enums to integers.][76199]
- [You can now bind by reference and by move in patterns.][76119] This
  allows you to selectively borrow individual components of a type. E.g.
  ```rust
  #[derive(Debug)]
  struct Person {
      name: String,
      age: u8,
  }

  let person = Person {
      name: String::from("Alice"),
      age: 20,
  };

  // `name` is moved out of person, but `age` is referenced.
  let Person { name, ref age } = person;
  println!("{} {}", name, age);
  ```

Compiler
-----------------------

- [Added tier 1\* support for `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu`.][78228]
- [Added tier 2 support for `aarch64-apple-darwin`.][75991]
- [Added tier 2 support for `aarch64-pc-windows-msvc`.][75914]
- [Added tier 3 support for `mipsel-unknown-none`.][78676]
- [Raised the minimum supported LLVM version to LLVM 9.][78848]
- [Output from threads spawned in tests is now captured.][78227]
- [Change os and vendor values to "none" and "unknown" for some targets][78951]

\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries
-----------------------

- [`RangeInclusive` now checks for exhaustion when calling `contains` and indexing.][78109]
- [`ToString::to_string` now no longer shrinks the internal buffer in the default implementation.][77997]

Stabilized APIs
---------------

- [`slice::select_nth_unstable`]
- [`slice::select_nth_unstable_by`]
- [`slice::select_nth_unstable_by_key`]

The following previously stable methods are now `const`.

- [`Poll::is_ready`]
- [`Poll::is_pending`]

Cargo
-----------------------
- [Building a crate with `cargo-package` should now be independently reproducible.][cargo/8864]
- [`cargo-tree` now marks proc-macro crates.][cargo/8765]
- [Added `CARGO_PRIMARY_PACKAGE` build-time environment variable.][cargo/8758] This
  variable will be set if the crate being built is one the user selected to build, either
  with `-p` or through defaults.
- [You can now use glob patterns when specifying packages & targets.][cargo/8752]


Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- [Demoted `i686-unknown-freebsd` from host tier 2 to target tier 2 support.][78746]
- [Macros that end with a semi-colon are now treated as statements even if they expand to nothing.][78376]
- [Rustc will now check for the validity of some built-in attributes on enum variants.][77015]
  Previously such invalid or unused attributes could be ignored.
- Leading whitespace is stripped more uniformly in documentation comments, which may change behavior. You
  read [this post about the changes][rustdoc-ws-post] for more details.
- [Trait bounds are no longer inferred for associated types.][79904]

Internal Only
-------------
These changes provide no direct user facing benefits, but represent significant
improvements to the internals and overall performance of rustc and
related tools.

- [rustc's internal crates are now compiled using the `initial-exec` Thread
  Local Storage model.][78201]
- [Calculate visibilities once in resolve.][78077]
- [Added `system` to the `llvm-libunwind` bootstrap config option.][77703]
- [Added `--color` for configuring terminal color support to bootstrap.][79004]

Version 1.48.0 (2020-11-19)
==========================

Language
--------

- [The `unsafe` keyword is now syntactically permitted on modules.][75857] This
  is still rejected *semantically*, but can now be parsed by procedural macros.

Compiler
--------
- [Stabilised the `-C link-self-contained=<yes|no>` compiler flag.][76158] This tells
  `rustc` whether to link its own C runtime and libraries or to rely on a external
  linker to find them. (Supported only on `windows-gnu`, `linux-musl`, and `wasi` platforms.)
- [You can now use `-C target-feature=+crt-static` on `linux-gnu` targets.][77386]
  Note: If you're using cargo you must explicitly pass the `--target` flag.
- [Added tier 2\* support for `aarch64-unknown-linux-musl`.][76420]

\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries
---------
- [`io::Write` is now implemented for `&ChildStdin` `&Sink`, `&Stdout`,
  and `&Stderr`.][76275]
- [All arrays of any length now implement `TryFrom<Vec<T>>`.][76310]
- [The `matches!` macro now supports having a trailing comma.][74880]
- [`Vec<A>` now implements `PartialEq<[B]>` where `A: PartialEq<B>`.][74194]
- [The `RefCell::{replace, replace_with, clone}` methods now all use `#[track_caller]`.][77055]

Stabilized APIs
---------------
- [`slice::as_ptr_range`]
- [`slice::as_mut_ptr_range`]
- [`VecDeque::make_contiguous`]
- [`future::pending`]
- [`future::ready`]

The following previously stable methods are now `const fn`'s:

- [`Option::is_some`]
- [`Option::is_none`]
- [`Option::as_ref`]
- [`Result::is_ok`]
- [`Result::is_err`]
- [`Result::as_ref`]
- [`Ordering::reverse`]
- [`Ordering::then`]

Cargo
-----

Rustdoc
-------
- [You can now link to items in `rustdoc` using the intra-doc link
  syntax.][74430] E.g. ``/// Uses [`std::future`]`` will automatically generate
  a link to `std::future`'s documentation. See ["Linking to items by
  name"][intradoc-links] for more information.
- [You can now specify `#[doc(alias = "<alias>")]` on items to add search aliases
  when searching through `rustdoc`'s UI.][75740]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Promotion of references to `'static` lifetime inside `const fn` now follows the
  same rules as inside a `fn` body.][75502] In particular, `&foo()` will not be
  promoted to `'static` lifetime any more inside `const fn`s.
- [Associated type bindings on trait objects are now verified to meet the bounds
  declared on the trait when checking that they implement the trait.][27675]
- [When trait bounds on associated types or opaque types are ambiguous, the
  compiler no longer makes an arbitrary choice on which bound to use.][54121]
- [Fixed recursive nonterminals not being expanded in macros during
  pretty-print/reparse check.][77153] This may cause errors if your macro wasn't
  correctly handling recursive nonterminal tokens.
- [`&mut` references to non zero-sized types are no longer promoted.][75585]
- [`rustc` will now warn if you use attributes like `#[link_name]` or `#[cold]`
  in places where they have no effect.][73461]
- [Updated `_mm256_extract_epi8` and `_mm256_extract_epi16` signatures in
  `arch::{x86, x86_64}` to return `i32` to match the vendor signatures.][73166]
- [`mem::uninitialized` will now panic if any inner types inside a struct or enum
  disallow zero-initialization.][71274]
- [`#[target_feature]` will now error if used in a place where it has no effect.][78143]
- [Foreign exceptions are now caught by `catch_unwind` and will cause an abort.][70212]
  Note: This behaviour is not guaranteed and is still considered undefined behaviour,
  see the [`catch_unwind`] documentation for further information.



Internal Only
-------------
These changes provide no direct user facing benefits, but represent significant
improvements to the internals and overall performance of rustc and
related tools.

- [Building `rustc` from source now uses `ninja` by default over `make`.][74922]
  You can continue building with `make` by setting `ninja=false` in
  your `bootstrap.toml`.
- [cg_llvm: `fewer_names` in `uncached_llvm_type`][76030]
- [Made `ensure_sufficient_stack()` non-generic][76680]

Version 1.47.0 (2020-10-08)
==========================

Language
--------
- [Closures will now warn when not used.][74869]

Compiler
--------
- [Stabilized the `-C control-flow-guard` codegen option][73893], which enables
  [Control Flow Guard][1.47.0-cfg] for Windows platforms, and is ignored on other
  platforms.
- [Upgraded to LLVM 11.][73526]
- [Added tier 3\* support for the `thumbv4t-none-eabi` target.][74419]
- [Upgrade the FreeBSD toolchain to version 11.4][75204]
- [`RUST_BACKTRACE`'s output is now more compact.][75048]

\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries
---------
- [`CStr` now implements `Index<RangeFrom<usize>>`.][74021]
- [Traits in `std`/`core` are now implemented for arrays of any length, not just
  those of length less than 33.][74060]
- [`ops::RangeFull` and `ops::Range` now implement Default.][73197]
- [`panic::Location` now implements `Copy`, `Clone`, `Eq`, `Hash`, `Ord`,
  `PartialEq`, and `PartialOrd`.][73583]

Stabilized APIs
---------------
- [`Ident::new_raw`]
- [`Range::is_empty`]
- [`RangeInclusive::is_empty`]
- [`Result::as_deref`]
- [`Result::as_deref_mut`]
- [`Vec::leak`]
- [`pointer::offset_from`]
- [`f32::TAU`]
- [`f64::TAU`]

The following previously stable APIs have now been made const.

- [The `new` method for all `NonZero` integers.][73858]
- [The `checked_add`,`checked_sub`,`checked_mul`,`checked_neg`, `checked_shl`,
  `checked_shr`, `saturating_add`, `saturating_sub`, and `saturating_mul`
  methods for all integers.][73858]
- [The `checked_abs`, `saturating_abs`, `saturating_neg`, and `signum`  for all

  `is_ascii_punctuation`, `is_ascii_graphic`, `is_ascii_whitespace`, and
  `is_ascii_control` methods for `char` and `u8`.][73858]

Cargo
-----
- [`build-dependencies` are now built with opt-level 0 by default.][cargo/8500]
  You can override this by setting the following in your `Cargo.toml`.
  ```toml
  [profile.release.build-override]
  opt-level = 3
  ```
- [`cargo-help` will now display man pages for commands rather just the
  `--help` text.][cargo/8456]

  tests enabled.][cargo/8478]
- [`workspace.default-members` now respects `workspace.exclude`.][cargo/8485]
- [`cargo-publish` will now use an alternative registry by default if it's the
  only registry specified in `package.publish`.][cargo/8571]

Misc
----

- [Fixed a regression parsing `{} && false` in tail expressions.][74650]
- [Added changes to how proc-macros are expanded in `macro_rules!` that should
  help to preserve more span information.][73084] These changes may cause
  compilation errors if your macro was unhygenic or didn't correctly handle
  `Delimiter::None`.
- [Moved support for the CloudABI target to tier 3.][75568]
- [`linux-gnu` targets now require minimum kernel 2.6.32 and glibc 2.11.][74163]
- [Added the `rustc-docs` component.][75560] This allows you to install
  and read the documentation for the compiler internal APIs. (Currently only
  available for `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`.)

Internal Only
--------

- [Improved default settings for bootstrapping in `x.py`.][73964] You can read details about this change in the ["Changes to `x.py` defaults"](https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2020/08/30/changes-to-x-py-defaults.html) post on the Inside Rust blog.

Version 1.46.0 (2020-08-27)
==========================

Language
--------
- [`if`, `match`, and `loop` expressions can now be used in const functions.][72437]
- [Additionally you are now also able to coerce and cast to slices (`&[T]`) in
  const functions.][73862]
- [The `#[track_caller]` attribute can now be added to functions to use the
  function's caller's location information for panic messages.][72445]
- [Recursively indexing into tuples no longer needs parentheses.][71322] E.g.
  `x.0.0` over `(x.0).0`.
- [`mem::transmute` can now be used in statics and constants.][72920] **Note**
  You currently can't use `mem::transmute` in constant functions.

Compiler
--------
- [You can now use the `cdylib` target on Apple iOS and tvOS platforms.][73516]
- [Enabled static "Position Independent Executables" by default
  for `x86_64-unknown-linux-musl`.][70740]

Libraries
---------
- [`mem::forget` is now a `const fn`.][73887]
- [`String` now implements `From<char>`.][73466]
- [The `leading_ones`, and `trailing_ones` methods have been stabilised for all
  integer types.][73032]
- [`vec::IntoIter<T>` now implements `AsRef<[T]>`.][72583]
- [All non-zero integer types (`NonZeroU8`) now implement `TryFrom` for their
  zero-able equivalent (e.g. `TryFrom<u8>`).][72717]
- [`&[T]` and `&mut [T]` now implement `PartialEq<Vec<T>>`.][71660]
- [`(String, u16)` now implements `ToSocketAddrs`.][73007]
- [`vec::Drain<'_, T>` now implements `AsRef<[T]>`.][72584]

Stabilized APIs
---------------
- [`Option::zip`]
- [`vec::Drain::as_slice`]

Cargo
-----
Added a number of new environment variables that are now available when
compiling your crate.

- [`CARGO_BIN_NAME` and `CARGO_CRATE_NAME`][cargo/8270] Providing the name of
  the specific binary being compiled and the name of the crate.
- [`CARGO_PKG_LICENSE`][cargo/8325] The license from the manifest of the package.
- [`CARGO_PKG_LICENSE_FILE`][cargo/8387] The path to the license file.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [The target configuration option `abi_blacklist` has been renamed
  to `unsupported_abis`.][74150] The old name will still continue to work.
- [Rustc will now warn if you cast a C-like enum that implements `Drop`.][72331]
  This was previously accepted but will become a hard error in a future release.
- [Rustc will fail to compile if you have a struct with
  `#[repr(i128)]` or `#[repr(u128)]`.][74109] This representation is currently only
  allowed on `enum`s.
- [Tokens passed to `macro_rules!` are now always captured.][73293] This helps
  ensure that spans have the correct information, and may cause breakage if you
  were relying on receiving spans with dummy information.
- [The InnoSetup installer for Windows is no longer available.][72569] This was
  a legacy installer that was replaced by a MSI installer a few years ago but
  was still being built.
- [`{f32, f64}::asinh` now returns the correct values for negative numbers.][72486]
- [Rustc will no longer accept overlapping trait implementations that only
  differ in how the lifetime was bound.][72493]
- [Rustc now correctly relates the lifetime of an existential associated
  type.][71896] This fixes some edge cases where `rustc` would erroneously allow
  you to pass a shorter lifetime than expected.
- [Rustc now dynamically links to `libz` (also called `zlib`) on Linux.][74420]
  The library will need to be installed for `rustc` to work, even though we
  expect it to be already available on most systems.
- [Tests annotated with `#[should_panic]` are broken on ARMv7 while running
  under QEMU.][74820]
- [Pretty printing of some tokens in procedural macros changed.][75453] The
  exact output returned by rustc's pretty printing is an unstable
  implementation detail: we recommend any macro relying on it to switch to a
  more robust parsing system.

[74509]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74509
[74457]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74457


Version 1.45.0 (2020-07-16)
==========================

Language
--------
- [Out of range float to int conversions using `as` has been defined as a saturating
  conversion.][71269] This was previously undefined behaviour, but you can use the
   `{f64, f32}::to_int_unchecked` methods to continue using the current behaviour, which
   may be desirable in rare performance sensitive situations.
- [`mem::Discriminant<T>` now uses `T`'s discriminant type instead of always
  using `u64`.][70705]
- [Function like procedural macros can now be used in expression, pattern, and  statement
  positions.][68717] This means you can now use a function-like procedural macro
  anywhere you can use a declarative (`macro_rules!`) macro.

Compiler
--------
- [You can now override individual target features through the `target-feature`
  flag.][72094] E.g. `-C target-feature=+avx2 -C target-feature=+fma` is now
  equivalent to `-C target-feature=+avx2,+fma`.
- [Added the `force-unwind-tables` flag.][69984] This option allows
  rustc to always generate unwind tables regardless of panic strategy.
- [Added the `embed-bitcode` flag.][71716] This codegen flag allows rustc
  to include LLVM bitcode into generated `rlib`s (this is on by default).
- [Added the `tiny` value to the `code-model` codegen flag.][72397]
- [Added tier 3 support\* for the `mipsel-sony-psp` target.][72062]
- [Added tier 3 support for the `thumbv7a-uwp-windows-msvc` target.][72133]
- [Upgraded to LLVM 10.][67759]

\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
information on Rust's tiered platform support.


Libraries
---------
- [`net::{SocketAddr, SocketAddrV4, SocketAddrV6}` now implements `PartialOrd`
  and `Ord`.][72239]
- [`proc_macro::TokenStream` now implements `Default`.][72234]
- [You can now use `char` with
  `ops::{Range, RangeFrom, RangeFull, RangeInclusive, RangeTo}` to iterate over
  a range of codepoints.][72413] E.g.
  you can now write the following;
  ```rust
  for ch in 'a'..='z' {
      print!("{}", ch);
  }
  println!();
  // Prints "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
  ```
- [`OsString` now implements `FromStr`.][71662]
- [The `saturating_neg` method has been added to all signed integer primitive
  types, and the `saturating_abs` method has been added for all integer
  primitive types.][71886]
- [`Arc<T>`, `Rc<T>` now implement  `From<Cow<'_, T>>`, and `Box` now
  implements `From<Cow>` when `T` is `[T: Copy]`, `str`, `CStr`, `OsStr`,
  or `Path`.][71447]
- [`Box<[T]>` now implements `From<[T; N]>`.][71095]
- [`BitOr` and `BitOrAssign` are implemented for all `NonZero`
  integer types.][69813]
- [The `fetch_min`, and `fetch_max` methods have been added to all atomic
  integer types.][72324]
- [The `fetch_update` method has been added to all atomic integer types.][71843]

Stabilized APIs
---------------
- [`Arc::as_ptr`]
- [`BTreeMap::remove_entry`]
- [`Rc::as_ptr`]
- [`rc::Weak::as_ptr`]
- [`rc::Weak::from_raw`]
- [`rc::Weak::into_raw`]
- [`str::strip_prefix`]
- [`str::strip_suffix`]
- [`sync::Weak::as_ptr`]
- [`sync::Weak::from_raw`]
- [`sync::Weak::into_raw`]
- [`char::UNICODE_VERSION`]
- [`Span::resolved_at`]
- [`Span::located_at`]
- [`Span::mixed_site`]
- [`unix::process::CommandExt::arg0`]

Cargo
-----

- [Cargo uses the `embed-bitcode` flag to optimize disk usage and build
  time.][cargo/8066]

Misc
----
- [Rustdoc now supports strikethrough text in Markdown.][71928] E.g.
  `~~outdated information~~` becomes "~~outdated information~~".
- [Added an emoji to Rustdoc's deprecated API message.][72014]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Trying to self initialize a static value (that is creating a value using
  itself) is unsound and now causes a compile error.][71140]
- [`{f32, f64}::powi` now returns a slightly different value on Windows.][73420]
  This is due to changes in LLVM's intrinsics which `{f32, f64}::powi` uses.
- [Rustdoc's CLI's extra error exit codes have been removed.][71900] These were
  previously undocumented and not intended for public use. Rustdoc still provides
  a non-zero exit code on errors.
- [Rustc's `lto` flag is incompatible with the new `embed-bitcode=no`.][71848]
  This may cause issues if LTO is enabled through `RUSTFLAGS` or `cargo rustc`
  flags while cargo is adding `embed-bitcode` itself. The recommended way to
  control LTO is with Cargo profiles, either in `Cargo.toml` or `.cargo/config`,
  or by setting `CARGO_PROFILE_<name>_LTO` in the environment.

Internals Only
--------------
- [Make clippy a git subtree instead of a git submodule][70655]
- [Unify the undo log of all snapshot types][69464]

Version 1.44.1 (2020-06-18)
===========================

* [rustfmt accepts rustfmt_skip in cfg_attr again.][73078]
* [Don't hash executable filenames on apple platforms, fixing backtraces.][cargo/8329]
* [Fix crashes when finding backtrace on macOS.][71397]
* [Clippy applies lint levels into different files.][clippy/5356]

[clippy/5356]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/5356


Version 1.44.0 (2020-06-04)
==========================

Language
--------
- [You can now use `async/.await` with `#[no_std]` enabled.][69033]
- [Added the `unused_braces` lint.][70081]

**Syntax-only changes**

- [Expansion-driven outline module parsing][69838]
```rust
#[cfg(FALSE)]
mod foo {
    mod bar {
        mod baz; // `foo/bar/baz.rs` doesn't exist, but no error!
    }
}
```

These are still rejected semantically, so you will likely receive an error but
these changes can be seen and parsed by macros and conditional compilation.

Compiler
--------
- [Rustc now respects the `-C codegen-units` flag in incremental mode.][70156]
  Additionally when in incremental mode rustc defaults to 256 codegen units.
- [Refactored `catch_unwind` to have zero-cost, unless unwinding is enabled and
  a panic is thrown.][67502]
- [Added tier 3\* support for the `aarch64-unknown-none` and
  `aarch64-unknown-none-softfloat` targets.][68334]
- [Added tier 3 support for `arm64-apple-tvos` and
  `x86_64-apple-tvos` targets.][68191]


Libraries
---------
- [Special cased `vec![]` to map directly to `Vec::new()`.][70632] This allows
  `vec![]` to be able to be used in `const` contexts.
- [`convert::Infallible` now implements `Hash`.][70281]
- [`OsString` now implements `DerefMut` and `IndexMut` returning
  a `&mut OsStr`.][70048]
- [Unicode 13 is now supported.][69929]
- [`String` now implements `From<&mut str>`.][69661]
- [`IoSlice` now implements `Copy`.][69403]
- [`Vec<T>` now implements `From<[T; N]>`.][68692] Where `N` is at most 32.
- [`proc_macro::LexError` now implements `fmt::Display` and `Error`.][68899]
- [`from_le_bytes`, `to_le_bytes`, `from_be_bytes`, `to_be_bytes`,
  `from_ne_bytes`, and `to_ne_bytes` methods are now `const` for all
  integer types.][69373]

Stabilized APIs
---------------
- [`PathBuf::with_capacity`]
- [`PathBuf::capacity`]
- [`PathBuf::clear`]
- [`PathBuf::reserve`]
- [`PathBuf::reserve_exact`]
- [`PathBuf::shrink_to_fit`]
- [`f32::to_int_unchecked`]
- [`f64::to_int_unchecked`]
- [`Layout::align_to`]
- [`Layout::pad_to_align`]
- [`Layout::array`]
- [`Layout::extend`]

Cargo
-----
- [Added the `cargo tree` command which will print a tree graph of
  your dependencies.][cargo/8062] E.g.
  ```
    mdbook v0.3.2 (/Users/src/rust/mdbook)
  ├── ammonia v3.0.0
  │   ├── html5ever v0.24.0
  │   │   ├── log v0.4.8
  │   │   │   └── cfg-if v0.1.9
  │   │   ├── mac v0.1.1
  │   │   └── markup5ever v0.9.0
  │   │       ├── log v0.4.8 (*)
  │   │       ├── phf v0.7.24
  │   │       │   └── phf_shared v0.7.24
  │   │       │       ├── siphasher v0.2.3
  │   │       │       └── unicase v1.4.2
  │   │       │           [build-dependencies]
  │   │       │           └── version_check v0.1.5
  ...
  ```
  You can also display dependencies on multiple versions of the same crate with
  `cargo tree -d` (short for `cargo tree --duplicates`).

Misc
----
- [Rustdoc now allows you to specify `--crate-version` to have rustdoc include
  the version in the sidebar.][69494]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Rustc now correctly generates static libraries on Windows GNU targets with
  the `.a` extension, rather than the previous `.lib`.][70937]
- [Removed the `-C no_integrated_as` flag from rustc.][70345]
- [The `file_name` property in JSON output of macro errors now points the actual
  source file rather than the previous format of `<NAME macros>`.][70969]
  **Note:** this may not point to a file that actually exists on the user's system.
- [The minimum required external LLVM version has been bumped to LLVM 8.][71147]
- [`mem::{zeroed, uninitialised}` will now panic when used with types that do
  not allow zero initialization such as `NonZeroU8`.][66059] This was
  previously a warning.
- [In 1.45.0 (the next release) converting a `f64` to `u32` using the `as`
  operator has been defined as a saturating operation.][71269] This was previously
  undefined behaviour, but you can use the `{f64, f32}::to_int_unchecked` methods to
  continue using the current behaviour, which may be desirable in rare performance
  sensitive situations.

Internal Only
-------------
These changes provide no direct user facing benefits, but represent significant
improvements to the internals and overall performance of rustc and
related tools.

- [dep_graph Avoid allocating a set on when the number reads are small.][69778]
- [Replace big JS dict with JSON parsing.][71250]

Version 1.43.1 (2020-05-07)
===========================

* [Updated openssl-src to 1.1.1g for CVE-2020-1967.][71430]
* [Fixed the stabilization of AVX-512 features.][71473]
* [Fixed `cargo package --list` not working with unpublished dependencies.][cargo/8151]

[71473]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/71473
[cargo/8151]: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/8151


Version 1.43.0 (2020-04-23)
==========================

Language
--------
- [Fixed using binary operations with `&{number}` (e.g. `&1.0`) not having
  the type inferred correctly.][68129]
- [Attributes such as `#[cfg()]` can now be used on `if` expressions.][69201]

**Syntax only changes**
- [Allow `type Foo: Ord` syntactically.][69361]
- [Fuse associated and extern items up to defaultness.][69194]
- [Syntactically allow `self` in all `fn` contexts.][68764]
- [Merge `fn` syntax + cleanup item parsing.][68728]
- [`item` macro fragments can be interpolated into `trait`s, `impl`s, and `extern` blocks.][69366]
  For example, you may now write:
  ```rust
  macro_rules! mac_trait {
      ($i:item) => {
          trait T { $i }
      }
  }
  mac_trait! {
      fn foo() {}
  }
  ```

These are still rejected *semantically*, so you will likely receive an error but
these changes can be seen and parsed by macros and
conditional compilation.


Compiler
--------
- [You can now pass multiple lint flags to rustc to override the previous
  flags.][67885] For example; `rustc -D unused -A unused-variables` denies
  everything in the `unused` lint group except `unused-variables` which
  is explicitly allowed. However, passing `rustc -A unused-variables -D unused` denies
  everything in the `unused` lint group **including** `unused-variables` since
  the allow flag is specified before the deny flag (and therefore overridden).
- [rustc will now prefer your system MinGW libraries over its bundled libraries
  if they are available on `windows-gnu`.][67429]
- [rustc now buffers errors/warnings printed in JSON.][69227]

Libraries
---------
- [`Arc<[T; N]>`, `Box<[T; N]>`, and `Rc<[T; N]>`, now implement
  `TryFrom<Arc<[T]>>`,`TryFrom<Box<[T]>>`, and `TryFrom<Rc<[T]>>`
  respectively.][69538] **Note** These conversions are only available when `N`
  is `0..=32`.
- [You can now use associated constants on floats and integers directly, rather
  than having to import the module.][68952] e.g. You can now write `u32::MAX` or
  `f32::NAN` with no imports.
- [`u8::is_ascii` is now `const`.][68984]
- [`String` now implements `AsMut<str>`.][68742]
- [Added the `primitive` module to `std` and `core`.][67637] This module
  reexports Rust's primitive types. This is mainly useful in macros
  where you want avoid these types being shadowed.
- [Relaxed some of the trait bounds on `HashMap` and `HashSet`.][67642]
- [`string::FromUtf8Error` now implements `Clone + Eq`.][68738]

Stabilized APIs
---------------
- [`Once::is_completed`]
- [`f32::LOG10_2`]
- [`f32::LOG2_10`]
- [`f64::LOG10_2`]
- [`f64::LOG2_10`]
- [`iter::once_with`]

Cargo
-----
- [You can now set config `[profile]`s in your `.cargo/config`, or through
  your environment.][cargo/7823]
- [Cargo will now set `CARGO_BIN_EXE_<name>` pointing to a binary's
  executable path when running integration tests or benchmarks.][cargo/7697]
  `<name>` is the name of your binary as-is e.g. If you wanted the executable
  path for a binary named `my-program`you would use `env!("CARGO_BIN_EXE_my-program")`.

Misc
----
- [Certain checks in the `const_err` lint were deemed unrelated to const
  evaluation][69185], and have been moved to the `unconditional_panic` and
  `arithmetic_overflow` lints.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- [Having trailing syntax in the `assert!` macro is now a hard error.][69548] This
  has been a warning since 1.36.0.
- [Fixed `Self` not having the correctly inferred type.][69340] This incorrectly
  led to some instances being accepted, and now correctly emits a hard error.

[69340]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/69340

Internal Only
-------------
These changes provide no direct user facing benefits, but represent significant
improvements to the internals and overall performance of `rustc` and
related tools.

- [All components are now built with `opt-level=3` instead of `2`.][67878]
- [Improved how rustc generates drop code.][67332]
- [Improved performance from `#[inline]`-ing certain hot functions.][69256]
- [traits: preallocate 2 Vecs of known initial size][69022]
- [Avoid exponential behaviour when relating types][68772]
- [Skip `Drop` terminators for enum variants without drop glue][68943]
- [Improve performance of coherence checks][68966]
- [Deduplicate types in the generator witness][68672]
- [Invert control in struct_lint_level.][68725]

Version 1.42.0 (2020-03-12)
==========================

Language
--------
- [You can now use the slice pattern syntax with subslices.][67712] e.g.
  ```rust
  fn foo(words: &[&str]) {
      match words {
          ["Hello", "World", "!", ..] => println!("Hello World!"),
          ["Foo", "Bar", ..] => println!("Baz"),
          rest => println!("{:?}", rest),
      }
  }
  ```
- [You can now use `#[repr(transparent)]` on univariant `enum`s.][68122] Meaning
  that you can create an enum that has the exact layout and ABI of the type
  it contains.
- [You can now use outer attribute procedural macros on inline modules.][64273]
- [There are some *syntax-only* changes:][67131]
   - `default` is syntactically allowed before items in `trait` definitions.
   - Items in `impl`s (i.e. `const`s, `type`s, and `fn`s) may syntactically
     leave out their bodies in favor of `;`.
   - Bounds on associated types in `impl`s are now syntactically allowed
     (e.g. `type Foo: Ord;`).
   - `...` (the C-variadic type) may occur syntactically directly as the type of
      any function parameter.

  These are still rejected *semantically*, so you will likely receive an error
  but these changes can be seen and parsed by procedural macros and
  conditional compilation.

Compiler
--------
- [Added tier 2\* support for `armv7a-none-eabi`.][68253]
- [Added tier 2 support for `riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu`.][68339]
- [`Option::{expect,unwrap}` and
   `Result::{expect, expect_err, unwrap, unwrap_err}` now produce panic messages
   pointing to the location where they were called, rather than
   `core`'s internals. ][67887]

\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries
---------
- [`iter::Empty<T>` now implements `Send` and `Sync` for any `T`.][68348]
- [`Pin::{map_unchecked, map_unchecked_mut}` no longer require the return type
   to implement `Sized`.][67935]
- [`io::Cursor` now derives `PartialEq` and `Eq`.][67233]
- [`Layout::new` is now `const`.][66254]
- [Added Standard Library support for `riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu`.][66899]


Stabilized APIs
---------------
- [`CondVar::wait_while`]
- [`CondVar::wait_timeout_while`]
- [`DebugMap::key`]
- [`DebugMap::value`]
- [`ManuallyDrop::take`]
- [`matches!`]
- [`ptr::slice_from_raw_parts_mut`]
- [`ptr::slice_from_raw_parts`]

Cargo
-----
- [You no longer need to include `extern crate proc_macro;` to be able to
  `use proc_macro;` in the `2018` edition.][cargo/7700]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [`Error::description` has been deprecated, and its use will now produce a
  warning.][66919] It's recommended to use `Display`/`to_string` instead.

Version 1.41.1 (2020-02-27)
===========================

* [Always check types of static items][69145]
* [Always check lifetime bounds of `Copy` impls][69145]
* [Fix miscompilation in callers of `Layout::repeat`][69225]
* [Rust 1.41.0 was announced as the last Rust release with tier 1 or tier 2 support for 32-bit Apple targets][apple-32bit-drop].
  That announcement did not expect a patch release. 1.41.1 also includes release binaries for these targets.

Version 1.41.0 (2020-01-30)
===========================

Language
--------

- [You can now pass type parameters to foreign items when implementing
  traits.][65879] E.g. You can now write `impl<T> From<Foo> for Vec<T> {}`.
- [You can now arbitrarily nest receiver types in the `self` position.][64325] E.g. you can
  now write `fn foo(self: Box<Box<Self>>) {}`. Previously only `Self`, `&Self`,
  `&mut Self`, `Arc<Self>`, `Rc<Self>`, and `Box<Self>` were allowed.
- [You can now use any valid identifier in a `format_args` macro.][66847]
  Previously identifiers starting with an underscore were not allowed.
- [Visibility modifiers (e.g. `pub`) are now syntactically allowed on trait items and
  enum variants.][66183] These are still rejected semantically, but
  can be seen and parsed by procedural macros and conditional compilation.
- [You can now define a Rust `extern "C"` function with `Box<T>` and use `T*` as the corresponding
  type on the C side.][62514] Please see [the documentation][box-memory-layout] for more information,
  including the important caveat about preferring to avoid `Box<T>` in Rust signatures for functions defined in C.

[box-memory-layout]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/boxed/index.html#memory-layout

Compiler
--------

- [Rustc will now warn if you have unused loop `'label`s.][66325]
- [Removed support for the `i686-unknown-dragonfly` target.][67255]
- [Added tier 3 support\* for the `riscv64gc-unknown-linux-gnu` target.][66661]
- [You can now pass an arguments file passing the `@path` syntax
  to rustc.][66172] Note that the format differs somewhat from what is
  found in other tooling; please see [the documentation][argfile-docs] for
  more information.
- [You can now provide `--extern` flag without a path, indicating that it is
  available from the search path or specified with an `-L` flag.][64882]

\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
information on Rust's tiered platform support.

[argfile-docs]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/command-line-arguments.html#path-load-command-line-flags-from-a-path

Libraries
---------

- [The `core::panic` module is now stable.][66771] It was already stable
  through `std`.
- [`NonZero*` numerics now implement `From<NonZero*>` if it's a smaller integer
  width.][66277] E.g. `NonZeroU16` now implements `From<NonZeroU8>`.
- [`MaybeUninit<T>` now implements `fmt::Debug`.][65013]

Stabilized APIs
---------------

- [`Result::map_or`]
- [`Result::map_or_else`]
- [`std::rc::Weak::weak_count`]
- [`std::rc::Weak::strong_count`]
- [`std::sync::Weak::weak_count`]
- [`std::sync::Weak::strong_count`]

Cargo
-----

- [Cargo will now document all the private items for binary crates
  by default.][cargo/7593]
- [`cargo-install` will now reinstall the package if it detects that it is out
  of date.][cargo/7560]
- [Cargo.lock now uses a more git friendly format that should help to reduce
  merge conflicts.][cargo/7579]
- [You can now override specific dependencies's build settings][cargo/7591] E.g.
  `[profile.dev.package.image] opt-level = 2` sets the `image` crate's
  optimisation level to `2` for debug builds. You can also use
  `[profile.<profile>.build-override]` to override build scripts and
  their dependencies.

Misc
----

- [You can now specify `edition` in documentation code blocks to compile the block
  for that edition.][66238] E.g. `edition2018` tells rustdoc that the code sample
  should be compiled the 2018 edition of Rust.
- [You can now provide custom themes to rustdoc with `--theme`, and check the
  current theme with `--check-theme`.][54733]
- [You can use `#[cfg(doc)]` to compile an item when building documentation.][61351]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- [As previously announced 1.41 will be the last tier 1 release for 32-bit
  Apple targets.][apple-32bit-drop] This means that the source code is still
  available to build, but the targets are no longer being tested and release
  binaries for those platforms will no longer be distributed by the Rust project.
  Please refer to the linked blog post for more information.

Version 1.40.0 (2019-12-19)
===========================

Language
--------
- [You can now use tuple `struct`s and tuple `enum` variant's constructors in
  `const` contexts.][65188] e.g.

  ```rust
  pub struct Point(i32, i32);

  const ORIGIN: Point = {
      let constructor = Point;

      constructor(0, 0)
  };
  ```

- [You can now mark `struct`s, `enum`s, and `enum` variants with the `#[non_exhaustive]` attribute to
  indicate that there may be variants or fields added in the future.][64639]
  For example this requires adding a wild-card branch (`_ => {}`) to any match
  statements on a non-exhaustive `enum`. [(RFC 2008)]
- [You can now use function-like procedural macros in `extern` blocks and in
  type positions.][63931] e.g. `type Generated = macro!();`
- [Function-like and attribute procedural macros can now emit
  `macro_rules!` items, so you can now have your macros generate macros.][64035]
- [The `meta` pattern matcher in `macro_rules!` now correctly matches the modern
  attribute syntax.][63674] For example `(#[$m:meta])` now matches `#[attr]`,
  `#[attr{tokens}]`, `#[attr[tokens]]`, and `#[attr(tokens)]`.

Compiler
--------
- [Added tier 3 support\* for the
  `thumbv7neon-unknown-linux-musleabihf` target.][66103]
- [Added tier 3 support for the
  `aarch64-unknown-none-softfloat` target.][64589]
- [Added tier 3 support for the `mips64-unknown-linux-muslabi64`, and
  `mips64el-unknown-linux-muslabi64` targets.][65843]

\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
  information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries
---------
- [The `is_power_of_two` method on unsigned numeric types is now a `const` function.][65092]

Stabilized APIs
---------------
- [`BTreeMap::get_key_value`]
- [`HashMap::get_key_value`]
- [`Option::as_deref_mut`]
- [`Option::as_deref`]
- [`Option::flatten`]
- [`UdpSocket::peer_addr`]

- [`f64::from_le_bytes`]
- [`f64::from_ne_bytes`]
- [`mem::take`]
- [`slice::repeat`]
- [`todo!`]

Cargo
-----
- [Cargo will now always display warnings, rather than only on
  fresh builds.][cargo/7450]
- [Feature flags (except `--all-features`) passed to a virtual workspace will
  now produce an error.][cargo/7507] Previously these flags were ignored.
- [You can now publish `dev-dependencies` without including
  a `version`.][cargo/7333]

Misc
----
- [You can now specify the `#[cfg(doctest)]` attribute to include an item only
  when running documentation tests with `rustdoc`.][63803]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [As previously announced, any previous NLL warnings in the 2015 edition are
  now hard errors.][64221]
- [The `include!` macro will now warn if it failed to include the
  entire file.][64284] The `include!` macro unintentionally only includes the
  first _expression_ in a file, and this can be unintuitive. This will become
  either a hard error in a future release, or the behavior may be fixed to include all expressions as expected.
- [Using `#[inline]` on function prototypes and consts now emits a warning under
  `unused_attribute` lint.][65294] Using `#[inline]` anywhere else inside traits
  or `extern` blocks now correctly emits a hard error.

Version 1.39.0 (2019-11-07)
===========================

Language
--------
- [You can now create `async` functions and blocks with `async fn`, `async move {}`, and
  `async {}` respectively, and you can now call `.await` on async expressions.][63209]
- [You can now use certain attributes on function, closure, and function pointer
  parameters.][64010] These attributes include `cfg`, `cfg_attr`, `allow`, `warn`,
  `deny`, `forbid` as well as inert helper attributes used by procedural macro
  attributes applied to items. e.g.
  ```rust
  fn len(
      #[cfg(windows)] slice: &[u16],
      #[cfg(not(windows))] slice: &[u8],
  ) -> usize {
      slice.len()
  }
  ```
- [You can now take shared references to bind-by-move patterns in the `if` guards
  of `match` arms.][63118] e.g.
  ```rust
  fn main() {
      let array: Box<[u8; 4]> = Box::new([1, 2, 3, 4]);

      match array {
          nums
  //      ---- `nums` is bound by move.
              if nums.iter().sum::<u8>() == 10
  //                 ^------ `.iter()` implicitly takes a reference to `nums`.
          => {
              drop(nums);
  //          ----------- Legal as `nums` was bound by move and so we have ownership.
          }
          _ => unreachable!(),
      }
  }
  ```



Compiler
--------
- [Added tier 3\* support for the `i686-unknown-uefi` target.][64334]
- [Added tier 3 support for the `sparc64-unknown-openbsd` target.][63595]
- [rustc will now trim code snippets in diagnostics to fit in your terminal.][63402]
  **Note** Cargo currently doesn't use this feature. Refer to
  [cargo#7315][cargo/7315] to track this feature's progress.
- [You can now pass `--show-output` argument to test binaries to print the
  output of successful tests.][62600]


\* Refer to Rust's [platform support page][platform-support-doc] for more
information on Rust's tiered platform support.

Libraries
---------
- [`Vec::new` and `String::new` are now `const` functions.][64028]
- [`LinkedList::new` is now a `const` function.][63684]
- [`str::len`, `[T]::len` and `str::as_bytes` are now `const` functions.][63770]
- [The `abs`, `wrapping_abs`, and `overflowing_abs` numeric functions are
  now `const`.][63786]

Stabilized APIs
---------------
- [`Pin::into_inner`]
- [`Instant::checked_duration_since`]
- [`Instant::saturating_duration_since`]

Cargo
-----
- [You can now publish git dependencies if supplied with a `version`.][cargo/7237]
- [The `--all` flag has been renamed to `--workspace`.][cargo/7241] Using
  `--all` is now deprecated.

Misc
----
- [You can now pass `-Clinker` to rustdoc to control the linker used
  for compiling doctests.][63834]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Code that was previously accepted by the old borrow checker, but rejected by
  the NLL borrow checker is now a hard error in Rust 2018.][63565] This was
  previously a warning, and will also become a hard error in the Rust 2015
  edition in the 1.40.0 release.
- [`rustdoc` now requires `rustc` to be installed and in the same directory to
  run tests.][63827] This should improve performance when running a large
  amount of doctests.
- [The `try!` macro will now issue a deprecation warning.][62672] It is
  recommended to use the `?` operator instead.
- [`asinh(-0.0)` now correctly returns `-0.0`.][63698] Previously this
  returned `0.0`.

- [Derive macros for prelude traits (e.g. `Clone`, `Debug`, `Hash`) are now
  available at the same path as the trait.][63056] (e.g. The `Clone` derive macro
  is available at `std::clone::Clone`). This also makes all built-in macros
  available in `std`/`core` root. e.g. `std::include_bytes!`.
- [`str::Chars` now implements `Debug`.][63000]
- [`slice::{concat, connect, join}` now accepts `&[T]` in addition to `&T`.][62528]

Version 1.36.0 (2019-07-04)
==========================

Language
--------
- [Non-Lexical Lifetimes are now enabled on the 2015 edition.][59114]
- [The order of traits in trait objects no longer affects the semantics of that
  object.][59445] e.g. `dyn Send + fmt::Debug` is now equivalent to
  `dyn fmt::Debug + Send`, where this was previously not the case.

Libraries
---------
- [`HashMap`'s implementation has been replaced with `hashbrown::HashMap` implementation.][58623]
- [`TryFromSliceError` now implements `From<Infallible>`.][60318]

- [`io::Cursor` now implements `Default`.][60234]
- [Both `NonNull::{dangling, cast}` are now const fns.][60244]
- [The `alloc` crate is now stable.][59675] `alloc` allows you to use a subset
  of `std` (e.g. `Vec`, `Box`, `Arc`) in `#![no_std]` environments if the
  environment has access to heap memory allocation.
- [`String` now implements `From<&String>`.][59825]
- [You can now pass multiple arguments to the `dbg!` macro.][59826] `dbg!` will
  return a tuple of each argument when there is multiple arguments.
- [`Result::{is_err, is_ok}` are now `#[must_use]` and will produce a warning if
  not used.][59648]

[clippy/3805]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/3805

Version 1.34.0 (2019-04-11)
==========================

Language
--------
- [You can now use `#[deprecated = "reason"]`][58166] as a shorthand for
  `#[deprecated(note = "reason")]`. This was previously allowed by mistake
  but had no effect.
- [You can now accept token streams in `#[attr()]`,`#[attr[]]`, and
  `#[attr{}]` procedural macros.][57367]
- [You can now write `extern crate self as foo;`][57407] to import your
  crate's root into the extern prelude.


Compiler
--------
- [You can now target `riscv64imac-unknown-none-elf` and
  `riscv64gc-unknown-none-elf`.][58406]
- [You can now enable linker plugin LTO optimisations with
  `-C linker-plugin-lto`.][58057] This allows rustc to compile your Rust code
  into LLVM bitcode allowing LLVM to perform LTO optimisations across C/C++ FFI
  boundaries.
- [You can now target `powerpc64-unknown-freebsd`.][57809]


Libraries
---------
- [The trait bounds have been removed on some of `HashMap<K, V, S>`'s and
  `HashSet<T, S>`'s basic methods.][58370] Most notably you no longer require
  the `Hash` trait to create an iterator.
- [The `Ord` trait bounds have been removed on some of `BinaryHeap<T>`'s basic
  methods.][58421] Most notably you no longer require the `Ord` trait to create
  an iterator.
- [The methods `overflowing_neg` and `wrapping_neg` are now `const` functions
  for all numeric types.][58044]
- [Indexing a `str` is now generic over all types that
  implement `SliceIndex<str>`.][57604]
- [`str::trim`, `str::trim_matches`, `str::trim_{start, end}`, and
  `str::trim_{start, end}_matches` are now `#[must_use]`][57106] and will
  produce a warning if their returning type is unused.
- [The methods `checked_pow`, `saturating_pow`, `wrapping_pow`, and
  `overflowing_pow` are now available for all numeric types.][57873] These are
  equivalent to methods such as `wrapping_add` for the `pow` operation.

Version 1.33.0 (2019-02-28)
==========================

Language
--------
- [You can now use the `cfg(target_vendor)` attribute.][57465] E.g.
  `#[cfg(target_vendor="apple")] fn main() { println!("Hello Apple!"); }`
- [Integer patterns such as in a match expression can now be exhaustive.][56362]
  E.g. You can have match statement on a `u8` that covers `0..=255` and
  you would no longer be required to have a `_ => unreachable!()` case.
- [You can now have multiple patterns in `if let` and `while let`
  expressions.][57532] You can do this with the same syntax as a `match`
  expression. E.g.
  ```rust
  enum Creature {
      Crab(String),
      Lobster(String),
      Person(String),
  }

  fn main() {
      let state = Creature::Crab("Ferris");

      if let Creature::Crab(name) | Creature::Person(name) = state {
          println!("This creature's name is: {}", name);
      }
  }
  ```
- [You can now have irrefutable `if let` and `while let` patterns.][57535] Using
  this feature will by default produce a warning as this behaviour can be
  unintuitive. E.g. `if let _ = 5 {}`
- [You can now use `let` bindings, assignments, expression statements,
  and irrefutable pattern destructuring in const functions.][57175]
- [You can now call unsafe const functions.][57067] E.g.
  ```rust
  const unsafe fn foo() -> i32 { 5 }
  const fn bar() -> i32 {
      unsafe { foo() }
  }
  ```
- [You can now specify multiple attributes in a `cfg_attr` attribute.][57332]
  E.g. `#[cfg_attr(all(), must_use, optimize)]`
- [You can now specify a specific alignment with the `#[repr(packed)]`
  attribute.][57049] E.g. `#[repr(packed(2))] struct Foo(i16, i32);` is a struct
  with an alignment of 2 bytes and a size of 6 bytes.
- [You can now import an item from a module as an `_`.][56303] This allows you to
  import a trait's impls, and not have the name in the namespace. E.g.
  ```rust
  use std::io::Read as _;

  // Allowed as there is only one `Read` in the module.
  pub trait Read {}
  ```
- [You may now use `Rc`, `Arc`, and `Pin` as method receivers][56805].

Compiler
--------
- [You can now set a linker flavor for `rustc` with the `-Clinker-flavor`
  command line argument.][56351]
- [The minimum required LLVM version has been bumped to 6.0.][56642]
- [Added support for the PowerPC64 architecture on FreeBSD.][57615]
- [The `x86_64-fortanix-unknown-sgx` target support has been upgraded to
  tier 2 support.][57130] Visit the [platform support][platform-support] page for
  information on Rust's platform support.
- [Added support for the `thumbv7neon-linux-androideabi` and
  `thumbv7neon-unknown-linux-gnueabihf` targets.][56947]
- [Added support for the `x86_64-unknown-uefi` target.][56769]

Libraries
---------
- [The methods `overflowing_{add, sub, mul, shl, shr}` are now `const`
  functions for all numeric types.][57566]
- [The methods `rotate_left`, `rotate_right`, and `wrapping_{add, sub, mul, shl, shr}`
  are now `const` functions for all numeric types.][57105]
- [The methods `is_positive` and `is_negative` are now `const` functions for
  all signed numeric types.][57105]
- [The `get` method for all `NonZero` types is now `const`.][57167]
- [The methods `count_ones`, `count_zeros`, `leading_zeros`, `trailing_zeros`,
  `swap_bytes`, `from_be`, `from_le`, `to_be`, `to_le` are now `const` for all
  numeric types.][57234]
- [`Ipv4Addr::new` is now a `const` function][57234]

Cargo
-----
- [You can now publish crates that require a feature flag to compile with
  `cargo publish --features` or `cargo publish --all-features`.][cargo/6453]
- [Cargo should now rebuild a crate if a file was modified during the initial
  build.][cargo/6484]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- The methods `str::{trim_left, trim_right, trim_left_matches, trim_right_matches}`
  are now deprecated in the standard library, and their usage will now produce a warning.
  Please use the `str::{trim_start, trim_end, trim_start_matches, trim_end_matches}`
  methods instead.
- The `Error::cause` method has been deprecated in favor of `Error::source` which supports
  downcasting.
- [Libtest no longer creates a new thread for each test when
  `--test-threads=1`.  It also runs the tests in deterministic order][56243]

Version 1.32.0 (2019-01-17)
==========================

Language
--------
#### 2018 edition
- [You can now use the `?` operator in macro definitions.][56245] The `?`
  operator allows you to specify zero or one repetitions similar to the `*` and
  `+` operators.
- [Module paths with no leading keyword like `super`, `self`, or `crate`, will
  now always resolve to the item (`enum`, `struct`, etc.) available in the
  module if present, before resolving to a external crate or an item the prelude.][56759]
  E.g.
  ```rust
  enum Color { Red, Green, Blue }

  use Color::*;
  ```

#### All editions
- [You can now match against `PhantomData<T>` types.][55837]
- [You can now match against literals in macros with the `literal`
  specifier.][56072] This will match against a literal of any type.
  E.g. `1`, `'A'`, `"Hello World"`
- [Self can now be used as a constructor and pattern for unit and tuple structs.][56365] E.g.
  ```rust
  struct Point(i32, i32);

  impl Point {
      pub fn new(x: i32, y: i32) -> Self {
          Self(x, y)
      }

      pub fn is_origin(&self) -> bool {
          match self {
              Self(0, 0) => true,
              _ => false,
          }
      }
  }
  ```
- [Self can also now be used in type definitions.][56366] E.g.
  ```rust
  enum List<T>
  where
      Self: PartialOrd<Self> // can write `Self` instead of `List<T>`
  {
      Nil,
      Cons(T, Box<Self>) // likewise here
  }
  ```
- [You can now mark traits with `#[must_use]`.][55663] This provides a warning if
  a `impl Trait` or `dyn Trait` is returned and unused in the program.

Compiler
--------
- [The default allocator has changed from jemalloc to the default allocator on
  your system.][55238] The compiler itself on Linux & macOS will still use
  jemalloc, but programs compiled with it will use the system allocator.
- [Added the `aarch64-pc-windows-msvc` target.][55702]

Libraries
---------
- [`PathBuf` now implements `FromStr`.][55148]
- [`Box<[T]>` now implements `FromIterator<T>`.][55843]
- [The `dbg!` macro has been stabilized.][56395] This macro enables you to
  easily debug expressions in your rust program. E.g.
  ```rust
  let a = 2;
  let b = dbg!(a * 2) + 1;
  //      ^-- prints: [src/main.rs:4] a * 2 = 4
  assert_eq!(b, 5);
  ```

The following APIs are now `const` functions and can be used in a
`const` context.

- [`UnsafeCell::get`]
- [`char::is_ascii`]
- [`iter::empty`]

- [You can now run `cargo c` as an alias for `cargo check`.][cargo/6218]
- [Usernames are now allowed in alt registry URLs.][cargo/6242]

Misc
----
- [`libproc_macro` has been added to the `rust-src` distribution.][55280]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [The argument types for AVX's
  `_mm256_stream_si256`, `_mm256_stream_pd`, `_mm256_stream_ps`][55610] have
  been changed from `*const` to `*mut` as the previous implementation
  was unsound.

Version 1.31.1 (2018-12-20)
===========================

- [Fix Rust failing to build on `powerpc-unknown-netbsd`][56562]
- [Fix broken go-to-definition in RLS][rls/1171]
- [Fix infinite loop on hover in RLS][rls/1170]

[rls/1171]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rls/issues/1171
[rls/1170]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rls/pull/1170

Version 1.31.0 (2018-12-06)
==========================

Language
--------
- 🎉 [This version marks the release of the 2018 edition of Rust.][54057] 🎉
- [New lifetime elision rules now allow for eliding lifetimes in functions and
  impl headers.][54778] E.g. `impl<'a> Reader for BufReader<'a> {}` can now be
  `impl Reader for BufReader<'_> {}`. Lifetimes are still required to be defined
  in structs.
- [You can now define and use `const` functions.][54835] These are currently
  a strict minimal subset of the [const fn RFC][RFC-911]. Refer to the
  [language reference][const-reference] for what exactly is available.
- [You can now use tool lints, which allow you to scope lints from external
  tools using attributes.][54870] E.g. `#[allow(clippy::filter_map)]`.
- [`#[no_mangle]` and `#[export_name]` attributes can now be located anywhere in
  a crate, not just in exported functions.][54451]
- [You can now use parentheses in pattern matches.][54497]

Compiler
--------
- [Updated musl to 1.1.20][54430]

Libraries
---------
- [You can now convert `num::NonZero*` types to their raw equivalents using the
  `From` trait.][54240] E.g. `u8` now implements `From<NonZeroU8>`.
- [You can now convert a `&Option<T>` into `Option<&T>` and `&mut Option<T>`
  into `Option<&mut T>` using the `From` trait.][53218]
- [You can now multiply (`*`) a `time::Duration` by a `u32`.][52813]

Version 1.30.1 (2018-11-08)
===========================

- [Fixed overflow ICE in rustdoc][54199]
- [Cap Cargo progress bar width at 60 in MSYS terminals][cargo/6122]

[54199]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/54199
[cargo/6122]: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/6122

Version 1.30.0 (2018-10-25)
==========================

Language
--------
- [Procedural macros are now available.][52081] These kinds of macros allow for
  more powerful code generation. There is a [new chapter available][proc-macros]
  in the Rust Programming Language book that goes further in depth.
- [You can now use keywords as identifiers using the raw identifiers
  syntax (`r#`),][53236] e.g. `let r#for = true;`
- [Using anonymous parameters in traits is now deprecated with a warning and
  will be a hard error in the 2018 edition.][53272]
- [You can now use `crate` in paths.][54404] This allows you to refer to the
  crate root in the path, e.g. `use crate::foo;` refers to `foo` in `src/lib.rs`.
- [Using a external crate no longer requires being prefixed with `::`.][54404]
  Previously, using a external crate in a module without a use statement
  required `let json = ::serde_json::from_str(foo);` but can now be written
  as `let json = serde_json::from_str(foo);`.
- [You can now apply the `#[used]` attribute to static items to prevent the
  compiler from optimising them away, even if they appear to be unused,][51363]
  e.g. `#[used] static FOO: u32 = 1;`
- [You can now import and reexport macros from other crates with the `use`
  syntax.][50911] Macros exported with `#[macro_export]` are now placed into
  the root module of the crate. If your macro relies on calling other local
  macros, it is recommended to export with the
  `#[macro_export(local_inner_macros)]` attribute so users won't have to import
  those macros.
- [You can now catch visibility keywords (e.g. `pub`, `pub(crate)`) in macros
  using the `vis` specifier.][53370]
- [Non-macro attributes now allow all forms of literals, not just
  strings.][53044] Previously, you would write `#[attr("true")]`, and you can now
  write `#[attr(true)]`.
- [You can now specify a function to handle a panic in the Rust runtime with the
  `#[panic_handler]` attribute.][51366]

Compiler
--------
- [Added the `riscv32imc-unknown-none-elf` target.][53822]
- [Added the `aarch64-unknown-netbsd` target][53165]
- [Upgraded to LLVM 8.][53611]

Libraries
---------
- [`ManuallyDrop` now allows the inner type to be unsized.][53033]

Stabilized APIs
---------------
- [`Ipv4Addr::BROADCAST`]
- [`Ipv4Addr::LOCALHOST`]
- [`Ipv4Addr::UNSPECIFIED`]
- [`Ipv6Addr::LOCALHOST`]
- [`Ipv6Addr::UNSPECIFIED`]
- [`Iterator::find_map`]

  The following methods are replacement methods for `trim_left`, `trim_right`,
  `trim_left_matches`, and `trim_right_matches`, which will be deprecated
  in 1.33.0:
- [`str::trim_end_matches`]
- [`str::trim_end`]
- [`str::trim_start_matches`]
- [`str::trim_start`]

Cargo
----
- [`cargo run` doesn't require specifying a package in workspaces.][cargo/5877]
- [`cargo doc` now supports `--message-format=json`.][cargo/5878] This is
  equivalent to calling `rustdoc --error-format=json`.
- [Cargo will now provide a progress bar for builds.][cargo/5995]

Misc
----
- [`rustdoc` allows you to specify what edition to treat your code as with the
  `--edition` option.][54057]
- [`rustdoc` now has the `--color` (specify whether to output color) and
  `--error-format` (specify error format, e.g. `json`) options.][53003]
- [We now distribute a `rust-gdbgui` script that invokes `gdbgui` with Rust
  debug symbols.][53774]
- [Attributes from Rust tools such as `rustfmt` or `clippy` are now
  available,][53459] e.g. `#[rustfmt::skip]` will skip formatting the next item.

Version 1.29.2 (2018-10-11)
===========================

- [Workaround for an aliasing-related LLVM bug, which caused miscompilation.][54639]
- The `rls-preview` component on the windows-gnu targets has been restored.

[54639]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/54639


Version 1.29.1 (2018-09-25)
===========================

Security Notes
--------------

- The standard library's `str::repeat` function contained an out of bounds write
  caused by an integer overflow. This has been fixed by deterministically
  panicking when an overflow happens.

  Thank you to Scott McMurray for responsibly disclosing this vulnerability to
  us.

  will demote `deny` and `forbid` lints to `warn`.
- [`rustc` and `rustdoc` will now have the exit code of `1` if compilation
  fails and `101` if there is a panic.][52197]
- [A preview of clippy has been made available through rustup.][51122]
  You can install the preview with `rustup component add clippy-preview`.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [`str::{slice_unchecked, slice_unchecked_mut}` are now deprecated.][51807]
  Use `str::get_unchecked(begin..end)` instead.
- [`std::env::home_dir` is now deprecated for its unintuitive behavior.][51656]
  Consider using the `home_dir` function from
  https://crates.io/crates/dirs instead.
- [`rustc` will no longer silently ignore invalid data in target spec.][52330]
- [`cfg` attributes and `--cfg` command line flags are now more
  strictly validated.][53893]

Version 1.28.0 (2018-08-02)
===========================

Language
--------
- [The `#[repr(transparent)]` attribute is now stable.][51562] This attribute
  allows a Rust newtype wrapper (`struct NewType<T>(T);`) to be represented as
  the inner type across Foreign Function Interface (FFI) boundaries.
- [The keywords `pure`, `sizeof`, `alignof`, and `offsetof` have been unreserved
  and can now be used as identifiers.][51196]
- [The `GlobalAlloc` trait and `#[global_allocator]` attribute are now
  stable.][51241] This will allow users to specify a global allocator for
  their program.
- [Unit test functions marked with the `#[test]` attribute can now return
  `Result<(), E: Debug>` in addition to `()`.][51298]
- [The `lifetime` specifier for `macro_rules!` is now stable.][50385] This
  allows macros to easily target lifetimes.

Compiler
--------
- [The `s` and `z` optimisation levels are now stable.][50265] These optimisations
  prioritise making smaller binary sizes. `z` is the same as `s` with the
  exception that it does not vectorise loops, which typically results in an even
  smaller binary.
- [The short error format is now stable.][49546] Specified with
  `--error-format=short` this option will provide a more compressed output of
  rust error messages.
- [Added a lint warning when you have duplicated `macro_export`s.][50143]
- [Reduced the number of allocations in the macro parser.][50855] This can
  improve compile times of macro heavy crates on average by 5%.

Libraries
---------
- [Implemented `Default` for `&mut str`.][51306]
- [Implemented `From<bool>` for all integer and unsigned number types.][50554]
- [Implemented `Extend` for `()`.][50234]
- [The `Debug` implementation of `time::Duration` should now be more easily
  human readable.][50364] Previously a `Duration` of one second would printed as
  `Duration { secs: 1, nanos: 0 }` and will now be printed as `1s`.
- [Implemented `From<&String>` for `Cow<str>`, `From<&Vec<T>>` for `Cow<[T]>`,
  `From<Cow<CStr>>` for `CString`, `From<CString>, From<CStr>, From<&CString>`
  for `Cow<CStr>`, `From<OsString>, From<OsStr>, From<&OsString>` for
  `Cow<OsStr>`, `From<&PathBuf>` for `Cow<Path>`, and `From<Cow<Path>>`
  for `PathBuf`.][50170]
- [Implemented `Shl` and `Shr` for `Wrapping<u128>`
  and `Wrapping<i128>`.][50465]
- [`DirEntry::metadata` now uses `fstatat` instead of `lstat` when
  possible.][51050] This can provide up to a 40% speed increase.
- [Improved error messages when using `format!`.][50610]

Stabilized APIs
---------------
- [`Iterator::step_by`]
- [`Path::ancestors`]
- [`SystemTime::UNIX_EPOCH`]
- [`alloc::GlobalAlloc`]
- [`alloc::Layout`]
- [`alloc::LayoutErr`]

- [`slice::from_ref`]
- [`{Any + Send + Sync}::downcast_mut`]
- [`{Any + Send + Sync}::downcast_ref`]
- [`{Any + Send + Sync}::is`]

Cargo
-----
- [Cargo will now no longer allow you to publish crates with build scripts that
  modify the `src` directory.][cargo/5584] The `src` directory in a crate should be
  considered to be immutable.

Misc
----
- [The `suggestion_applicability` field in `rustc`'s json output is now
  stable.][50486] This will allow dev tools to check whether a code suggestion
  would apply to them.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Rust will consider trait objects with duplicated constraints to be the same
  type as without the duplicated constraint.][51276] For example the below code will
  now fail to compile.
  ```rust
  trait Trait {}

  impl Trait + Send {
      fn test(&self) { println!("one"); } //~ ERROR duplicate definitions with name `test`
  }

  impl Trait + Send + Send {
      fn test(&self) { println!("two"); }
  }
  ```

Version 1.27.1 (2018-07-10)
===========================

Security Notes
--------------

- rustdoc would execute plugins in the /tmp/rustdoc/plugins directory
  when running, which enabled executing code as some other user on a
  given machine. This release fixes that vulnerability; you can read
  more about this on the [blog][rustdoc-sec]. The associated CVE is [CVE-2018-1000622].

  Thank you to Red Hat for responsibly disclosing this vulnerability to us.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- The borrow checker was fixed to avoid an additional potential unsoundness when using

[CVE-2018-1000622]: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=%20CVE-2018-1000622

Version 1.27.0 (2018-06-21)
==========================

Language
--------
- [Removed 'proc' from the reserved keywords list.][49699] This allows `proc` to
  be used as an identifier.
- [The dyn syntax is now available.][49968] This syntax is equivalent to the
  bare `Trait` syntax, and should make it clearer when being used in tandem with
  `impl Trait` because it is equivalent to the following syntax:
  `&Trait == &dyn Trait`, `&mut Trait == &mut dyn Trait`, and
  `Box<Trait> == Box<dyn Trait>`.
- [Attributes on generic parameters such as types and lifetimes are
  now stable.][48851] e.g.
  `fn foo<#[lifetime_attr] 'a, #[type_attr] T: 'a>() {}`
- [The `#[must_use]` attribute can now also be used on functions as well as
  types.][48925] It provides a lint that by default warns users when the
  value returned by a function has not been used.

Compiler
--------
- [Added the `armv5te-unknown-linux-musleabi` target.][50423]

Libraries
---------
- [SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) on x86/x86_64 is now stable.][49664]
  This includes [`arch::x86`] & [`arch::x86_64`] modules which contain
  SIMD intrinsics, a new macro called `is_x86_feature_detected!`, the
  `#[target_feature(enable="")]` attribute, and adding `target_feature = ""` to
  the `cfg` attribute.
- [A lot of methods for `[u8]`, `f32`, and `f64` previously only available in
  std are now available in core.][49896]
- [The generic `Rhs` type parameter on `ops::{Shl, ShlAssign, Shr}` now defaults
  to `Self`.][49630]
- [`std::str::replace` now has the `#[must_use]` attribute][50177] to clarify
  that the operation isn't done in place.
- [`Clone::clone`, `Iterator::collect`, and `ToOwned::to_owned` now have
  the `#[must_use]` attribute][49533] to warn about unused potentially
  expensive allocations.

Stabilized APIs
---------------
- [`DoubleEndedIterator::rfind`]
- [`DoubleEndedIterator::rfold`]
- [`DoubleEndedIterator::try_rfold`]
- [`Duration::from_micros`]
- [`Duration::from_nanos`]
- [`Duration::subsec_micros`]
- [`Duration::subsec_millis`]
- [`HashMap::remove_entry`]
- [`Iterator::try_fold`]
- [`Iterator::try_for_each`]

- [`os::unix::process::parent_id`]
- [`ptr::swap_nonoverlapping`]
- [`slice::rsplit_mut`]
- [`slice::rsplit`]
- [`slice::swap_with_slice`]

Cargo
-----
- [`cargo-metadata` now includes `authors`, `categories`, `keywords`,
  `readme`, and `repository` fields.][cargo/5386]
- [`cargo-metadata` now includes a package's `metadata` table.][cargo/5360]
- [Added the `--target-dir` optional argument.][cargo/5393] This allows you to specify
  a different directory than `target` for placing compilation artifacts.
- [Cargo will be adding automatic target inference for binaries, benchmarks,
  examples, and tests in the Rust 2018 edition.][cargo/5335] If your project specifies
  specific targets, e.g. using `[[bin]]`, and have other binaries in locations
  where cargo would infer a binary, Cargo will produce a warning. You can
  disable this feature ahead of time by setting any of the following to false:
  `autobins`, `autobenches`, `autoexamples`, `autotests`.
- [Cargo will now cache compiler information.][cargo/5359] This can be disabled by
  setting `CARGO_CACHE_RUSTC_INFO=0` in your environment.

Misc
----
- [Added “The Rustc book” into the official documentation.][49707]
  [“The Rustc book”] documents and teaches how to use the rustc compiler.
- [All books available on `doc.rust-lang.org` are now searchable.][49623]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Calling a `CharExt` or `StrExt` method directly on core will no longer
  work.][49896] e.g. `::core::prelude::v1::StrExt::is_empty("")` will not
  compile, `"".is_empty()` will still compile.
- [`Debug` output on `atomic::{AtomicBool, AtomicIsize, AtomicPtr, AtomicUsize}`
  will only print the inner type.][48553] E.g.
  `print!("{:?}", AtomicBool::new(true))` will print `true`,
  not `AtomicBool(true)`.
- [The maximum number for `repr(align(N))` is now 2²⁹.][50378] Previously you
  could enter higher numbers but they were not supported by LLVM. Up to 512MB
  alignment should cover all use cases.
- The `.description()` method on the `std::error::Error` trait
  [has been soft-deprecated][50163]. It is no longer required to implement it.

Version 1.26.0 (2018-05-10)
==========================

Language
--------
- [Closures now implement `Copy` and/or `Clone` if all captured variables
  implement either or both traits.][49299]
- [The inclusive range syntax e.g. `for x in 0..=10` is now stable.][47813]
- [The `'_` lifetime is now stable. The underscore lifetime can be used anywhere a
  lifetime can be elided.][49458]
- [`impl Trait` is now stable allowing you to have abstract types in returns
   or in function parameters.][49255] E.g. `fn foo() -> impl Iterator<Item=u8>` or
  `fn open(path: impl AsRef<Path>)`.
- [Pattern matching will now automatically apply dereferences.][49394]
- [128-bit integers in the form of `u128` and `i128` are now stable.][49101]
- [`main` can now return `Result<(), E: Debug>`][49162] in addition to `()`.
- [A lot of operations are now available in a const context.][46882] E.g. You
  can now index into constant arrays, reference and dereference into constants,
  and use tuple struct constructors.
- [Fixed entry slice patterns are now stable.][48516] E.g.
  ```rust
  let points = [1, 2, 3, 4];
  match points {
      [1, 2, 3, 4] => println!("All points were sequential."),
      _ => println!("Not all points were sequential."),
  }
  ```


Compiler
--------
- [LLD is now used as the default linker for `wasm32-unknown-unknown`.][48125]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- [aliasing a `Fn` trait as `dyn` no longer works.][48481] E.g. the following
  syntax is now invalid.
  ```
  use std::ops::Fn as dyn;
  fn g(_: Box<dyn(std::fmt::Debug)>) {}
  ```
- [The result of dereferences are no longer promoted to `'static`.][47408]
  e.g.
  ```rust
  fn main() {
      const PAIR: &(i32, i32) = &(0, 1);
      let _reversed_pair: &'static _ = &(PAIR.1, PAIR.0); // Doesn't work
  }
  ```
- [Deprecate `AsciiExt` trait in favor of inherent methods.][49109]
- [`".e0"` will now no longer parse as `0.0` and will instead cause
  an error.][48235]
- [Removed hoedown from rustdoc.][48274]
- [Bounds on higher-kinded lifetimes a hard error.][48326]

enum Foo { A, B, C }

fn main() {
    let x = Foo::A;
    match x {
        | Foo::A

Version 1.22.1 (2017-11-22)
==========================

- [Update Cargo to fix an issue with macOS 10.13 "High Sierra"][46183]

[46183]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/46183

Version 1.22.0 (2017-11-22)
==========================

Language
--------
- [`non_snake_case` lint now allows extern no-mangle functions][44966]
- [Now accepts underscores in unicode escapes][43716]
- [`T op= &T` now works for numeric types.][44287] eg. `let mut x = 2; x += &8;`
- [types that impl `Drop` are now allowed in `const` and `static` types][44456]

Compiler
--------
- [rustc now defaults to having 16 codegen units at debug on supported platforms.][45064]
- [rustc will no longer inline in codegen units when compiling for debug][45075]
  This should decrease compile times for debug builds.
- [strict memory alignment now enabled on ARMv6][45094]
- [Remove support for the PNaCl target `le32-unknown-nacl`][45041]

Libraries
---------
- [Allow atomic operations up to 32 bits
  on `armv5te_unknown_linux_gnueabi`][44978]
- [`Box<Error>` now impls `From<Cow<str>>`][44466]
- [`std::mem::Discriminant` is now guaranteed to be `Send + Sync`][45095]
- [`fs::copy` now returns the length of the main stream on NTFS.][44895]
- [Properly detect overflow in `Instant += Duration`.][44220]
- [impl `Hasher` for `{&mut Hasher, Box<Hasher>}`][44015]
- [impl `fmt::Debug` for `SplitWhitespace`.][44303]
- [`Option<T>` now impls `Try`][42526] This allows for using `?` with `Option` types.

Stabilized APIs
---------------

Cargo
-----
- [Cargo will now build multi file examples in subdirectories of the `examples`
  folder that have a `main.rs` file.][cargo/4496]
- [Changed `[root]` to `[package]` in `Cargo.lock`][cargo/4571] Packages with
  the old format will continue to work and can be updated with `cargo update`.

Misc
----
- [`libbacktrace` is now available on Apple platforms.][44251]
- [Stabilised the `compile_fail` attribute for code fences in doc-comments.][43949]
  This now lets you specify that a given code example will fail to compile.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [The minimum Android version that rustc can build for has been bumped
  to `4.0` from `2.3`][45656]
- [Allowing `T op= &T` for numeric types has broken some type
  inference cases][45480]

  Example:
  ```rust
  fn main() {
      let x: &'static u32 = &0;
  }
  ```
- [Relaxed path syntax. Optional `::` before `<` is now allowed in all contexts.][43540]
  Example:
  ```rust
  my_macro!(Vec<i32>::new); // Always worked
  my_macro!(Vec::<i32>::new); // Now works
  ```

Compiler
--------
- [Upgraded jemalloc to 4.5.0][43911]
- [Enabled unwinding panics on Redox][43917]
- [Now runs LLVM in parallel during translation phase.][43506]

  Previously only showed `std::os::unix`.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------
- [Changes in method matching against higher-ranked types][43880] This may cause
  breakage in subtyping corner cases. [A more in-depth explanation is available.][info/43880]
- [rustc's JSON error output's byte position start at top of file.][42973]
  Was previously relative to the rustc's internal `CodeMap` struct which
  required the unstable library `libsyntax` to correctly use.
- [`unused_results` lint no longer ignores booleans][43728]

Version 1.19.0 (2017-07-20)
===========================

Language
--------

- [Numeric fields can now be used for creating tuple structs.][41145] [RFC 1506]
  For example `struct Point(u32, u32); let x = Point { 0: 7, 1: 0 };`.
- [Macro recursion limit increased to 1024 from 64.][41676]
- [Added lint for detecting unused macros.][41907]
- [`loop` can now return a value with `break`.][42016] [RFC 1624]
  For example: `let x = loop { break 7; };`
- [C compatible `union`s are now available.][42068] [RFC 1444] They can only
  contain `Copy` types and cannot have a `Drop` implementation.
  Example: `union Foo { bar: u8, baz: usize }`
- [Non capturing closures can now be coerced into `fn`s,][42162] [RFC 1558]
  Example: `let foo: fn(u8) -> u8 = |v: u8| { v };`

Compiler
--------

- [Add support for bootstrapping the Rust compiler toolchain on Android.][41370]
- [Change `arm-linux-androideabi` to correspond to the `armeabi`
  official ABI.][41656] If you wish to continue targeting the `armeabi-v7a` ABI
  you should use `--target armv7-linux-androideabi`.
- [Fixed ICE when removing a source file between compilation sessions.][41873]
- [Minor optimisation of string operations.][42037]
- [Compiler error message is now `aborting due to previous error(s)` instead of
  `aborting due to N previous errors`][42150] This was previously inaccurate and
  would only count certain kinds of errors.
- [The compiler now supports Visual Studio 2017][42225]
- [The compiler is now built against LLVM 4.0.1 by default][42948]
- [Added a lot][42264] of [new error codes][42302]
- [Added `target-feature=+crt-static` option][37406] [RFC 1721] Which allows
  libraries with C Run-time Libraries(CRT) to be statically linked.
- [Fixed various ARM codegen bugs][42740]

Libraries
---------

- [`String` now implements `FromIterator<Cow<'a, str>>` and
  `Extend<Cow<'a, str>>`][41449]
- [`Vec` now implements `From<&mut [T]>`][41530]
- [`Box<[u8]>` now implements `From<Box<str>>`][41258]
- [`SplitWhitespace` now implements `Clone`][41659]
- [`[u8]::reverse` is now 5x faster and `[u16]::reverse` is now
  1.5x faster][41764]
- [`eprint!` and `eprintln!` macros added to prelude.][41192] Same as the `print!`
  macros, but for printing to stderr.

Stabilized APIs
---------------

- [`OsString::shrink_to_fit`]
- [`cmp::Reverse`]
- [`Command::envs`]
- [`thread::ThreadId`]

Cargo
-----

- [Build scripts can now add environment variables to the environment
  the crate is being compiled in.
  Example: `println!("cargo:rustc-env=FOO=bar");`][cargo/3929]
- [Subcommands now replace the current process rather than spawning a new
  child process][cargo/3970]
- [Workspace members can now accept glob file patterns][cargo/3979]
- [Added `--all` flag to the `cargo bench` subcommand to run benchmarks of all
  the members in a given workspace.][cargo/3988]
- [Updated `libssh2-sys` to 0.2.6][cargo/4008]
- [Target directory path is now in the cargo metadata][cargo/4022]
- [Cargo no longer checks out a local working directory for the
  crates.io index][cargo/4026] This should provide smaller file size for the
  registry, and improve cloning times, especially on Windows machines.
- [Added an `--exclude` option for excluding certain packages when using the
  `--all` option][cargo/4031]
- [Cargo will now automatically retry when receiving a 5xx error
  from crates.io][cargo/4032]
- [The `--features` option now accepts multiple comma or space
  delimited values.][cargo/4084]
- [Added support for custom target specific runners][cargo/3954]

Misc
----

- [Added `rust-windbg.cmd`][39983] for loading rust `.natvis` files in the
  Windows Debugger.
- [Rust will now release XZ compressed packages][rust-installer/57]
- [rustup will now prefer to download rust packages with
  XZ compression][rustup/1100] over GZip packages.
- [Added the ability to escape `#` in rust documentation][41785] By adding
  additional `#`'s ie. `##` is now `#`

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- [`MutexGuard<T>` may only be `Sync` if `T` is `Sync`.][41624]
- [`-Z` flags are now no longer allowed to be used on the stable
  compiler.][41751] This has been a warning for a year previous to this.
- [As a result of the `-Z` flag change, the `cargo-check` plugin no
  longer works][42844]. Users should migrate to the built-in `check`
  command, which has been available since 1.16.
- [Ending a float literal with `._` is now a hard error.
  Example: `42._` .][41946]
- [Any use of a private `extern crate` outside of its module is now a
  hard error.][36886] This was previously a warning.
- [`use ::self::foo;` is now a hard error.][36888] `self` paths are always
  relative while the `::` prefix makes a path absolute, but was ignored and the
  path was relative regardless.
- [Floating point constants in match patterns is now a hard error][36890]
  This was previously a warning.
- [Struct or enum constants that don't derive `PartialEq` & `Eq` used
  match patterns is now a hard error][36891] This was previously a warning.
- [Lifetimes named `'_` are no longer allowed.][36892] This was previously
  a warning.
- [From the pound escape, lines consisting of multiple `#`s are
  now visible][41785]
- [It is an error to re-export private enum variants][42460]. This is
  known to break a number of crates that depend on an older version of
  mustache.
- [On Windows, if `VCINSTALLDIR` is set incorrectly, `rustc` will try
  to use it to find the linker, and the build will fail where it did
  not previously][42607]

Version 1.18.0 (2017-06-08)
===========================

Language
--------

- [Stabilize pub(restricted)][40556] `pub` can now accept a module path to
  make the item visible to just that module tree. Also accepts the keyword
  `crate` to make something public to the whole crate but not users of the
  library. Example: `pub(crate) mod utils;`. [RFC 1422].
- [Stabilize `#![windows_subsystem]` attribute][40870] conservative exposure of the
  `/SUBSYSTEM` linker flag on Windows platforms. [RFC 1665].
- [Refactor of trait object type parsing][40043] Now `ty` in macros can accept
  types like `Write + Send`, trailing `+` are now supported in trait objects,
  and better error reporting for trait objects starting with `?Sized`.
- [0e+10 is now a valid floating point literal][40589]
- [Now warns if you bind a lifetime parameter to 'static][40734]
- [Tuples, Enum variant fields, and structs with no `repr` attribute or with
  `#[repr(Rust)]` are reordered to minimize padding and produce a smaller
  representation in some cases.][40377]

Compiler
--------

- [rustc can now emit mir with `--emit mir`][39891]
- [Improved LLVM IR for trivial functions][40367]
- [Added explanation for E0090(Wrong number of lifetimes are supplied)][40723]
- [rustc compilation is now 15%-20% faster][41469] Thanks to optimisation
  opportunities found through profiling
- [Improved backtrace formatting when panicking][38165]

Libraries
---------

- [Specialized `Vec::from_iter` being passed `vec::IntoIter`][40731] if the
  iterator hasn't been advanced the original `Vec` is reassembled with no actual
  iteration or reallocation.
- [Simplified HashMap Bucket interface][40561] provides performance
  improvements for iterating and cloning.
- [Specialize Vec::from_elem to use calloc][40409]
- [Fixed Race condition in fs::create_dir_all][39799]
- [No longer caching stdio on Windows][40516]
- [Optimized insertion sort in slice][40807] insertion sort in some cases
  2.50%~ faster and in one case now 12.50% faster.
- [Optimized `AtomicBool::fetch_nand`][41143]

Stabilized APIs
---------------

- [`Child::try_wait`]
- [`HashMap::retain`]
- [`HashSet::retain`]
- [`PeekMut::pop`]
- [`TcpStream::peek`]
- [`UdpSocket::peek`]
- [`UdpSocket::peek_from`]

Cargo
-----

- [Added partial Pijul support][cargo/3842] Pijul is a version control system in Rust.
  You can now create new cargo projects with Pijul using `cargo new --vcs pijul`
- [Now always emits build script warnings for crates that fail to build][cargo/3847]
- [Added Android build support][cargo/3885]
- [Added `--bins` and `--tests` flags][cargo/3901] now you can build all programs
  of a certain type, for example `cargo build --bins` will build all
  binaries.
- [Added support for haiku][cargo/3952]

Misc
----

- [rustdoc can now use pulldown-cmark with the `--enable-commonmark` flag][40338]
- [Rust now uses the official cross compiler for NetBSD][40612]
- [rustdoc now accepts `#` at the start of files][40828]
- [Fixed jemalloc support for musl][41168]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- [Changes to how the `0` flag works in format!][40241] Padding zeroes are now
  always placed after the sign if it exists and before the digits. With the `#`
  flag the zeroes are placed after the prefix and before the digits.
- [Due to the struct field optimisation][40377], using `transmute` on structs
  that have no `repr` attribute or `#[repr(Rust)]` will no longer work. This has
  always been undefined behavior, but is now more likely to break in practice.
- [The refactor of trait object type parsing][40043] fixed a bug where `+` was
  receiving the wrong priority parsing things like `&for<'a> Tr<'a> + Send` as
  `&(for<'a> Tr<'a> + Send)` instead of `(&for<'a> Tr<'a>) + Send`
- [Overlapping inherent `impl`s are now a hard error][40728]
- [`PartialOrd` and `Ord` must agree on the ordering.][41270]
- [`rustc main.rs -o out --emit=asm,llvm-ir`][41085] Now will output
  `out.asm` and `out.ll` instead of only one of the filetypes.
- [ calling a function that returns `Self` will no longer work][41805] when
  the size of `Self` cannot be statically determined.
- [rustc now builds with a "pthreads" flavour of MinGW for Windows GNU][40805]
  this has caused a few regressions namely:

  - Changed the link order of local static/dynamic libraries (respecting the
    order on given rather than having the compiler reorder).
  - Changed how MinGW is linked, native code linked to dynamic libraries
    may require manually linking to the gcc support library (for the native
    code itself)

Version 1.17.0 (2017-04-27)
===========================

Language
--------

* [The lifetime of statics and consts defaults to `'static`][39265]. [RFC 1623]
* [Fields of structs may be initialized without duplicating the field/variable
  names][39761]. [RFC 1682]
* [`Self` may be included in the `where` clause of `impls`][38864]. [RFC 1647]
* [When coercing to an unsized type lifetimes must be equal][40319]. That is,
  there is no subtyping between `T` and `U` when `T: Unsize<U>`. For example,
  coercing `&mut [&'a X; N]` to `&mut [&'b X]` requires `'a` be equal to
  `'b`. Soundness fix.
* [Values passed to the indexing operator, `[]`, automatically coerce][40166]
* [Static variables may contain references to other statics][40027]

Compiler
--------

* [Exit quickly on only `--emit dep-info`][40336]
* [Make `-C relocation-model` more correctly determine whether the linker
  creates a position-independent executable][40245]
* [Add `-C overflow-checks` to directly control whether integer overflow
  panics][40037]
* [The rustc type checker now checks items on demand instead of in a single
  in-order pass][40008]. This is mostly an internal refactoring in support of
  future work, including incremental type checking, but also resolves [RFC
  1647], allowing `Self` to appear in `impl` `where` clauses.
* [Optimize vtable loads][39995]
* [Turn off vectorization for Emscripten targets][39990]
* [Provide suggestions for unknown macros imported with `use`][39953]
* [Fix ICEs in path resolution][39939]
* [Strip exception handling code on Emscripten when `panic=abort`][39193]
* [Add clearer error message using `&str + &str`][39116]

  `From<&OsStr> for Box<OsStr>`,
  `From<&Path> for Box<Path>`
* [`ffi::FromBytesWithNulError` implements `Error` and `Display`][39960]
* [Specialize `PartialOrd<A> for [A] where A: Ord`][39642]
* [Slightly optimize `slice::sort`][39538]
* [Add `ToString` trait specialization for `Cow<'a, str>` and `String`][39440]
* [`Box<[T]>` implements `From<&[T]> where T: Copy`,
  `Box<str>` implements `From<&str>`][39438]

  `From<(I, u16)> where I: Into<IpAddr>`][39372]
* [`format!` estimates the needed capacity before writing a string][39356]
* [Support unprivileged symlink creation in Windows][38921]
* [`PathBuf` implements `Default`][38764]
* [Implement `PartialEq<[A]>` for `VecDeque<A>`][38661]
* [`HashMap` resizes adaptively][38368] to guard against DOS attacks
  and poor hash functions.

Cargo
-----

* [Add `cargo check --all`][cargo/3731]
* [Add an option to ignore SSL revocation checking][cargo/3699]
* [Add `cargo run --package`][cargo/3691]
* [Add `required_features`][cargo/3667]
* [Assume `build.rs` is a build script][cargo/3664]
* [Find workspace via `workspace_root` link in containing member][cargo/3562]

Misc
----

* [Documentation is rendered with mdbook instead of the obsolete, in-tree
  `rustbook`][39633]
* [The "Unstable Book" documents nightly-only features][ubook]
* [Improve the style of the sidebar in rustdoc output][40265]
* [Configure build correctly on 64-bit CPU's with the armhf ABI][40261]
* [Fix MSP430 breakage due to `i128`][40257]
* [Preliminary Solaris/SPARCv9 support][39903]
* [`rustc` is linked statically on Windows MSVC targets][39837], allowing it to
  run without installing the MSVC runtime.
* [`rustdoc --test` includes file names in test names][39788]
* This release includes builds of `std` for `sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu`,
  `aarch64-unknown-linux-fuchsia`, and `x86_64-unknown-linux-fuchsia`.
* [Initial support for `aarch64-unknown-freebsd`][39491]
* [Initial support for `i686-unknown-netbsd`][39426]
* [This release no longer includes the old makefile build system][39431]. Rust
  is built with a custom build system, written in Rust, and with Cargo.

  WinDbg and Visual Studio to improve the debugging experience.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

* [Rust 1.17 does not correctly detect the MSVC 2017 linker][38584]. As a
  workaround, either use MSVC 2015 or run vcvars.bat.
* [When coercing to an unsized type lifetimes must be equal][40319]. That is,
  disallow subtyping between `T` and `U` when `T: Unsize<U>`, e.g. coercing
  `&mut [&'a X; N]` to `&mut [&'b X]` requires `'a` be equal to `'b`. Soundness
  fix.
* [`format!` and `Display::to_string` panic if an underlying formatting
  implementation returns an error][40117]. Previously the error was silently
  ignored. It is incorrect for `write_fmt` to return an error when writing
  to a string.
* [In-tree crates are verified to be unstable][39851]. Previously, some minor
  crates were marked stable and could be accessed from the stable toolchain.
* [Rust git source no longer includes vendored crates][39728]. Those that need
  to build with vendored crates should build from release tarballs.
* [Fix inert attributes from `proc_macro_derives`][39572]
* [During crate resolution, rustc prefers a crate in the sysroot if two crates
  are otherwise identical][39518]. Unlikely to be encountered outside the Rust
  build system.
* [Fixed bugs around how type inference interacts with dead-code][39485]. The
  existing code generally ignores the type of dead-code unless a type-hint is
  provided; this can cause surprising inference interactions particularly around
  defaulting. The new code uniformly ignores the result type of dead-code.
* [Tuple-struct constructors with private fields are no longer visible][38932]
* [Lifetime parameters that do not appear in the arguments are now considered
  early-bound][38897], resolving a soundness bug (#[32330]). The
  `hr_lifetime_in_assoc_type` future-compatibility lint has been in effect since
  April of 2016.
* [rustdoc: fix doctests with non-feature crate attributes][38161]
* [Make transmuting from fn item types to pointer-sized types a hard
  error][34198]

Version 1.16.0 (2017-03-16)
===========================

Language
--------

* [The compiler's `dead_code` lint now accounts for type aliases][38051].
* [Uninhabitable enums (those without any variants) no longer permit wildcard
  match patterns][38069]
* [Clean up semantics of `self` in an import list][38313]
* [`Self` may appear in `impl` headers][38920]
* [`Self` may appear in struct expressions][39282]

Compiler
--------

* [`rustc` now supports `--emit=metadata`, which causes rustc to emit
  a `.rmeta` file containing only crate metadata][38571]. This can be
  used by tools like the Rust Language Service to perform
  metadata-only builds.
* [Levenshtein based typo suggestions now work in most places, while
  previously they worked only for fields and sometimes for local
  variables][38927]. Together with the overhaul of "no
  resolution"/"unexpected resolution" errors (#[38154]) they result in
  large and systematic improvement in resolution diagnostics.
* [Fix `transmute::<T, U>` where `T` requires a bigger alignment than
  `U`][38670]
* [rustc: use -Xlinker when specifying an rpath with ',' in it][38798]
* [`rustc` no longer attempts to provide "consider using an explicit
  lifetime" suggestions][37057]. They were inaccurate.

Stabilized APIs
---------------

* [`VecDeque::truncate`]
* [`VecDeque::resize`]
* [`String::insert_str`]
* [`Duration::checked_add`]
* [`Duration::checked_sub`]
* [`Duration::checked_div`]
* [`Duration::checked_mul`]
* [`str::replacen`]
* [`str::repeat`]
* [`SocketAddr::is_ipv4`]
* [`SocketAddr::is_ipv6`]
* [`IpAddr::is_ipv4`]
* [`IpAddr::is_ipv6`]
* [`Vec::dedup_by`]
* [`Vec::dedup_by_key`]
* [`Result::unwrap_or_default`]
* [`<*const T>::wrapping_offset`]
* [`<*mut T>::wrapping_offset`]
* `CommandExt::creation_flags`
* [`File::set_permissions`]
* [`String::split_off`]

Libraries
---------

* [`[T]::binary_search` and `[T]::binary_search_by_key` now take
  their argument by `Borrow` parameter][37761]
* [All public types in std implement `Debug`][38006]
* [`IpAddr` implements `From<Ipv4Addr>` and `From<Ipv6Addr>`][38327]
* [`Ipv6Addr` implements `From<[u16; 8]>`][38131]
* [Ctrl-Z returns from `Stdin.read()` when reading from the console on
  Windows][38274]
* [std: Fix partial writes in `LineWriter`][38062]
* [std: Clamp max read/write sizes on Unix][38622]
* [Use more specific panic message for `&str` slicing errors][38066]
* [`TcpListener::set_only_v6` is deprecated][38304]. This
  functionality cannot be achieved in std currently.
* [`writeln!`, like `println!`, now accepts a form with no string
  or formatting arguments, to just print a newline][38469]
* [Implement `iter::Sum` and `iter::Product` for `Result`][38580]
* [Reduce the size of static data in `std_unicode::tables`][38781]
* [`char::EscapeDebug`, `EscapeDefault`, `EscapeUnicode`,
  `CaseMappingIter`, `ToLowercase`, `ToUppercase`, implement
  `Display`][38909]
* [`Duration` implements `Sum`][38712]
* [`String` implements `ToSocketAddrs`][39048]

Cargo
-----

* [The `cargo check` command does a type check of a project without
  building it][cargo/3296]
* [crates.io will display CI badges from Travis and AppVeyor, if
  specified in Cargo.toml][cargo/3546]
* [crates.io will display categories listed in Cargo.toml][cargo/3301]
* [Compilation profiles accept integer values for `debug`, in addition
  to `true` and `false`. These are passed to `rustc` as the value to
  `-C debuginfo`][cargo/3534]
* [Implement `cargo --version --verbose`][cargo/3604]
* [All builds now output 'dep-info' build dependencies compatible with
  make and ninja][cargo/3557]
* [Build all workspace members with `build --all`][cargo/3511]
* [Document all workspace members with `doc --all`][cargo/3515]
* [Path deps outside workspace are not members][cargo/3443]

Misc
----

* [`rustdoc` has a `--sysroot` argument that, like `rustc`, specifies
  the path to the Rust implementation][38589]
* [The `armv7-linux-androideabi` target no longer enables NEON
  extensions, per Google's ABI guide][38413]
* [The stock standard library can be compiled for Redox OS][38401]
* [Rust has initial SPARC support][38726]. Tier 3. No builds
  available.
* [Rust has experimental support for Nvidia PTX][38559]. Tier 3. No
  builds available.
* [Fix backtraces on i686-pc-windows-gnu by disabling FPO][39379]

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

* [Uninhabitable enums (those without any variants) no longer permit wildcard
  match patterns][38069]
* In this release, references to uninhabited types can not be
  pattern-matched. This was accidentally allowed in 1.15.
* [The compiler's `dead_code` lint now accounts for type aliases][38051].
* [Ctrl-Z returns from `Stdin.read()` when reading from the console on
  Windows][38274]
* [Clean up semantics of `self` in an import list][38313]
* Reimplemented lifetime elision. This change was almost entirely compatible
  with existing code, but it did close a number of small bugs and loopholes,
  as well as being more accepting in some other [cases][41105].

Version 1.15.1 (2017-02-09)
===========================

* [Fix IntoIter::as_mut_slice's signature][39466]
* [Compile compiler builtins with `-fPIC` on 32-bit platforms][39523]

[39466]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/39466
[39523]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/39523


Version 1.15.0 (2017-02-02)
===========================

Language
--------

* Basic procedural macros allowing custom `#[derive]`, aka "macros 1.1", are
  stable. This allows popular code-generating crates like Serde and Diesel to
  work ergonomically. [RFC 1681].
* [Tuple structs may be empty. Unary and empty tuple structs may be instantiated
  with curly braces][36868]. Part of [RFC 1506].
* [A number of minor changes to name resolution have been activated][37127].
  They add up to more consistent semantics, allowing for future evolution of
  Rust macros. Specified in [RFC 1560], see its section on ["changes"] for
  details of what is different. The breaking changes here have been transitioned
  through the [`legacy_imports`] lint since 1.14, with no known regressions.
* [In `macro_rules`, `path` fragments can now be parsed as type parameter
  bounds][38279]
* [`?Sized` can be used in `where` clauses][37791]
* [There is now a limit on the size of monomorphized types and it can be
  modified with the `#![type_size_limit]` crate attribute, similarly to
  the `#![recursion_limit]` attribute][37789]

Compiler
--------

* [On Windows, the compiler will apply dllimport attributes when linking to
  extern functions][37973]. Additional attributes and flags can control which
  library kind is linked and its name. [RFC 1717].
* [Rust-ABI symbols are no longer exported from cdylibs][38117]
* [The `--test` flag works with procedural macro crates][38107]
* [Fix `extern "aapcs" fn` ABI][37814]
* [The `-C no-stack-check` flag is deprecated][37636]. It does nothing.
* [The `format!` expander recognizes incorrect `printf` and shell-style
  formatting directives and suggests the correct format][37613].
* [Only report one error for all unused imports in an import list][37456]

Compiler Performance
--------------------

* [Avoid unnecessary `mk_ty` calls in `Ty::super_fold_with`][37705]
* [Avoid more unnecessary `mk_ty` calls in `Ty::super_fold_with`][37979]
* [Don't clone in `UnificationTable::probe`][37848]
* [Remove `scope_auxiliary` to cut RSS by 10%][37764]
* [Use small vectors in type walker][37760]
* [Macro expansion performance was improved][37701]
* [Change `HirVec<P<T>>` to `HirVec<T>` in `hir::Expr`][37642]
* [Replace FNV with a faster hash function][37229]

Stabilized APIs
---------------

* [`std::iter::Iterator::min_by`]
* [`std::iter::Iterator::max_by`]
* [`std::os::*::fs::FileExt`]
* [`std::sync::atomic::Atomic*::get_mut`]
* [`std::sync::atomic::Atomic*::into_inner`]
* [`std::vec::IntoIter::as_slice`]
* [`std::vec::IntoIter::as_mut_slice`]
* [`std::sync::mpsc::Receiver::try_iter`]
* [`std::os::unix::process::CommandExt::before_exec`]
* [`std::rc::Rc::strong_count`]
* [`std::rc::Rc::weak_count`]
* [`std::sync::Arc::strong_count`]
* [`std::sync::Arc::weak_count`]
* [`std::char::encode_utf8`]
* [`std::char::encode_utf16`]
* [`std::cell::Ref::clone`]
* [`std::io::Take::into_inner`]

Libraries
---------

* [The standard sorting algorithm has been rewritten for dramatic performance
  improvements][38192]. It is a hybrid merge sort, drawing influences from
  Timsort. Previously it was a naive merge sort.
* [`Iterator::nth` no longer has a `Sized` bound][38134]
* [`Extend<&T>` is specialized for `Vec` where `T: Copy`][38182] to improve
  performance.
* [`chars().count()` is much faster][37888] and so are [`chars().last()`
  and `char_indices().last()`][37882]
* [Fix ARM Objective-C ABI in `std::env::args`][38146]
* [Chinese characters display correctly in `fmt::Debug`][37855]
* [Derive `Default` for `Duration`][37699]
* [Support creation of anonymous pipes on WinXP/2k][37677]
* [`mpsc::RecvTimeoutError` implements `Error`][37527]
* [Don't pass overlapped handles to processes][38835]

Cargo
-----

* [In this release, Cargo build scripts no longer have access to the `OUT_DIR`
  environment variable at build time via `env!("OUT_DIR")`][cargo/3368]. They
  should instead check the variable at runtime with `std::env`. That the value
  was set at build time was a bug, and incorrect when cross-compiling. This
  change is known to cause breakage.
* [Add `--all` flag to `cargo test`][cargo/3221]
* [Compile statically against the MSVC CRT][cargo/3363]
* [Mix feature flags into fingerprint/metadata shorthash][cargo/3102]
* [Link OpenSSL statically on OSX][cargo/3311]
* [Apply new fingerprinting to build dir outputs][cargo/3310]
* [Test for bad path overrides with summaries][cargo/3336]
* [Require `cargo install --vers` to take a semver version][cargo/3338]
* [Fix retrying crate downloads for network errors][cargo/3348]
* [Implement string lookup for `build.rustflags` config key][cargo/3356]
* [Emit more info on --message-format=json][cargo/3319]
* [Assume `build.rs` in the same directory as `Cargo.toml` is a build script][cargo/3361]
* [Don't ignore errors in workspace manifest][cargo/3409]
* [Fix `--message-format JSON` when rustc emits non-JSON warnings][cargo/3410]

Tooling
-------

* [Test runners (binaries built with `--test`) now support a `--list` argument
  that lists the tests it contains][38185]
* [Test runners now support a `--exact` argument that makes the test filter
  match exactly, instead of matching only a substring of the test name][38181]
* [rustdoc supports a `--playground-url` flag][37763]
* [rustdoc provides more details about `#[should_panic]` errors][37749]

Misc
----

* [The Rust build system is now written in Rust][37817]. The Makefiles may
  continue to be used in this release by passing `--disable-rustbuild` to the
  configure script, but they will be deleted soon. Note that the new build
  system uses a different on-disk layout that will likely affect any scripts
  building Rust.
* [Rust supports i686-unknown-openbsd][38086]. Tier 3 support. No testing or
  releases.
* [Rust supports the MSP430][37627]. Tier 3 support. No testing or releases.
* [Rust supports the ARMv5TE architecture][37615]. Tier 3 support. No testing or
  releases.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

* [A number of minor changes to name resolution have been activated][37127].
  They add up to more consistent semantics, allowing for future evolution of
  Rust macros. Specified in [RFC 1560], see its section on ["changes"] for
  details of what is different. The breaking changes here have been transitioned
  through the [`legacy_imports`] lint since 1.14, with no known regressions.
* [In this release, Cargo build scripts no longer have access to the `OUT_DIR`
  environment variable at build time via `env!("OUT_DIR")`][cargo/3368]. They
  should instead check the variable at runtime with `std::env`. That the value
  was set at build time was a bug, and incorrect when cross-compiling. This
  change is known to cause breakage.
* [Higher-ranked lifetimes are no longer allowed to appear _only_ in associated
  types][33685]. The [`hr_lifetime_in_assoc_type` lint] has been a warning since
  1.10 and is now an error by default. It will become a hard error in the near
  future.
* [The semantics relating modules to file system directories are changing in
  minor ways][37602]. This is captured in the new `legacy_directory_ownership`
  lint, which is a warning in this release, and will become a hard error in the
  future.
* [Rust-ABI symbols are no longer exported from cdylibs][38117]
* [Once `Peekable` peeks a `None` it will return that `None` without re-querying
  the underlying iterator][37834]

  to deny by default][36894]:
  - ["use of inaccessible extern crate erroneously allowed"][36886]
  - ["type parameter default erroneously allowed in invalid location"][36887]
  - ["detects super or self keywords at the beginning of global path"][36888]
  - ["two overlapping inherent impls define an item with the same name
    were erroneously allowed"][36889]
  - ["floating-point constants cannot be used in patterns"][36890]
  - ["constants of struct or enum type can only be used in a pattern if
     the struct or enum has `#[derive(PartialEq, Eq)]`"][36891]
  - ["lifetimes or labels named `'_` were erroneously allowed"][36892]
* [Prohibit patterns in trait methods without bodies][37378]
* [The atomic `Ordering` enum may not be matched exhaustively][37351]

  work but never have. For now they are forbidden.
* [Enforce the shadowing restrictions from RFC 1560 for today's macros][36767]

Version 1.12.0 (2016-09-29)
===========================

Highlights
----------

* [`rustc` translates code to LLVM IR via its own "middle" IR (MIR)](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34096).
  This translation pass is far simpler than the previous AST->LLVM pass, and
  creates opportunities to perform new optimizations directly on the MIR. It
  was previously described [on the Rust blog](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/04/19/MIR.html).
* [`rustc` presents a new, more readable error format, along with
  machine-readable JSON error output for use by IDEs](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35401).
  Most common editors supporting Rust have been updated to work with it. It was
  previously described [on the Rust blog](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/08/10/Shape-of-errors-to-come.html).

Compiler
--------

* [`rustc` translates code to LLVM IR via its own "middle" IR (MIR)](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34096).

  creates opportunities to perform new optimizations directly on the MIR. It
  was previously described [on the Rust blog](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/04/19/MIR.html).
* [Print the Rust target name, not the LLVM target name, with
  `--print target-list`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35489)
* [The computation of `TypeId` is correct in some cases where it was previously
  producing inconsistent results](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35267)
* [The `mips-unknown-linux-gnu` target uses hardware floating point by default](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34910)
* [The `rustc` arguments, `--print target-cpus`, `--print target-features`,
  `--print relocation-models`, and `--print code-models` print the available
  options to the `-C target-cpu`, `-C target-feature`, `-C relocation-model` and
  `-C code-model` code generation arguments](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34845)
* [`rustc` supports three new MUSL targets on ARM: `arm-unknown-linux-musleabi`,
  `arm-unknown-linux-musleabihf`, and `armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35060).
  These targets produce statically-linked binaries. There are no binary release
  builds yet though.

Diagnostics
-----------

  machine-readable JSON error output for use by IDEs](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35401).
  Most common editors supporting Rust have been updated to work with it. It was
  previously described [on the Rust blog](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/08/10/Shape-of-errors-to-come.html).
* [In error descriptions, references are now described in plain English,
  instead of as "&-ptr"](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35611)
* [In error type descriptions, unknown numeric types are named `{integer}` or
  `{float}` instead of `_`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35080)
* [`rustc` emits a clearer error when inner attributes follow a doc comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34676)

Language
--------

* [`macro_rules!` invocations can be made within `macro_rules!` invocations](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34925)
* [`macro_rules!` meta-variables are hygienic](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/35453)
* [`macro_rules!` `tt` matchers can be reparsed correctly, making them much more
  useful](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34908)
* [`macro_rules!` `stmt` matchers correctly consume the entire contents when
  inside non-braces invocations](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34886)
* [Semicolons are properly required as statement delimiters inside
  `macro_rules!` invocations](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34660)

  The semantics of this minor method are subtle and probably not what
  most people want.
* [Add implementation of Ord for Cell<T> and RefCell<T> where T: Ord](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33306).
* [On Linux, if `HashMap`s can't be initialized with `getrandom` they
  will fall back to `/dev/urandom` temporarily to avoid blocking
  during early boot](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33086).
* [Implemented negation for wrapping numerals](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33067).

  `Mutex`, `RwLock`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/32785).

Cargo
-----
* [Cargo.toml supports the `profile.*.panic` option](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2687).
  This controls the runtime behavior of the `panic!` macro
  and can be either "unwind" (the default), or "abort".
  [RFC 1513](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1513-less-unwinding.md).
* [Don't throw away errors with `-p` arguments](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2723).
* [Report status to stderr instead of stdout](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2693).
* [Build scripts are passed a `CARGO_MANIFEST_LINKS` environment
  variable that corresponds to the `links` field of the manifest](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2710).
* [Ban keywords from crate names](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2707).
* [Canonicalize `CARGO_HOME` on Windows](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2604).
* [Retry network requests](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2396).

  `net.retry` value in `.cargo/config`.
* [Don't print extra error info for failing subcommands](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2674).
* [Add `--force` flag to `cargo install`](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2405).
* [Don't use `flock` on NFS mounts](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2623).
* [Prefer building `cargo install` artifacts in temporary directories](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2610).
  Makes it possible to install multiple crates in parallel.
* [Add `cargo test --doc`](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2578).
* [Add `cargo --explain`](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2551).
* [Don't print warnings when `-q` is passed](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2576).
* [Add `cargo doc --lib` and `--bin`](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2577).
* [Don't require build script output to be UTF-8](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2560).
* [Correctly attempt multiple git usernames](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/2584).

Performance
-----------

* [rustc memory usage was reduced by refactoring the context used for
  type checking](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33425).
* [Speed up creation of `HashMap`s by caching the random keys used
  to initialize the hash state](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33318).

* [Efficient trie lookup for boolean Unicode properties](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33098).
  10x faster than the previous lookup tables.
* [Special case `#[derive(Copy, Clone)]` to avoid bloat](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/31414).

Usability
---------

* Many incremental improvements to documentation and rustdoc.
* [rustdoc: List blanket trait impls](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33514).
* [rustdoc: Clean up ABI rendering](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33151).
* [Indexing with the wrong type produces a more informative error](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33401).

* [Update aarch64-linux-android features to match Android ABI](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33500).
* [`std` no longer prints backtraces on platforms where the running
  module must be loaded with `env::current_exe`, which can't be relied
  on](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33554).
* This release includes std binaries for the i586-unknown-linux-gnu,
  i686-unknown-linux-musl, and armv7-linux-androideabi targets. The
  i586 target is for old x86 hardware without SSE2, and the armv7
  target is for Android running on modern ARM architectures.
* [The `rust-gdb` and `rust-lldb` scripts are distributed on all
  Unix platforms](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/32835).
* [On Unix the runtime aborts by calling `libc::abort` instead of
  generating an illegal instruction](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/31457).
* [Rust is now bootstrapped from the previous release of Rust,
  instead of a snapshot from an arbitrary commit](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/32942).

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

* [`AtomicBool` is now bool-sized, not word-sized](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33579).
* [`target_env` for Linux ARM targets is just `gnu`, not
  `gnueabihf`, `gnueabi`, etc](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33403).
* [Consistently panic on overflow in `Duration::new`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/33072).
* [Change `String::truncate` to panic less](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/32977).
* [Add `:block` to the follow set for `:ty` and `:path`](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/32945).
  Affects how macros are parsed.
* [Fix macro hygiene bug](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/32923).
* [Feature-gated attributes on macro-generated macro invocations are
  now rejected](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/32791).
* [Suppress fallback and ambiguity errors during type inference](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/32258).
  This caused some minor changes to type inference.


Version 1.9.0 (2016-05-26)
==========================

Language
--------

* The `#[deprecated]` attribute when applied to an API will generate
  warnings when used. The warnings may be suppressed with
  `#[allow(deprecated)]`. [RFC 1270].
* [`fn` item types are zero sized, and each `fn` names a unique
  type][1.9fn]. This will break code that transmutes `fn`s, so calling
  `transmute` on a `fn` type will generate a warning for a few cycles,
  then will be converted to an error.
* [Field and method resolution understand visibility, so private
  fields and methods cannot prevent the proper use of public fields
  and methods][1.9fv].
* [The parser considers unicode codepoints in the
  `PATTERN_WHITE_SPACE` category to be whitespace][1.9ws].

Libraries
---------

* [`std::sync::Once` is poisoned if its initialization function
  fails][1.9o].
* [`cell::Ref` and `cell::RefMut` can contain unsized types][1.9cu].
* [Most types implement `fmt::Debug`][1.9db].
* [The default buffer size used by `BufReader` and `BufWriter` was
  reduced to 8K, from 64K][1.9bf]. This is in line with the buffer size
  used by other languages.
* [`Instant`, `SystemTime` and `Duration` implement `+=` and `-=`.
  `Duration` additionally implements `*=` and `/=`][1.9ta].
* [`Skip` is a `DoubleEndedIterator`][1.9sk].
* [`From<[u8; 4]>` is implemented for `Ipv4Addr`][1.9fi].
* [`Chain` implements `BufRead`][1.9ch].
* [`HashMap`, `HashSet` and iterators are covariant][1.9hc].

Cargo
-----

* [Cargo can now run concurrently][1.9cc].
* [Top-level overrides allow specific revisions of crates to be
  overridden through the entire crate graph][1.9ct].  This is intended
  to make upgrades easier for large projects, by allowing crates to be
  forked temporarily until they've been upgraded and republished.
* [Cargo exports a `CARGO_PKG_AUTHORS` environment variable][1.9cp].
* [Cargo will pass the contents of the `RUSTFLAGS` variable to `rustc`
  on the commandline][1.9cf]. `rustc` arguments can also be specified
  in the `build.rustflags` configuration key.

Performance
-----------

* [The time complexity of comparing variables for equivalence during type
  unification is reduced from _O_(_n_!) to _O_(_n_)][1.9tu]. This leads
  to major compilation time improvement in some scenarios.
* [`ToString` is specialized for `str`, giving it the same performance
  as `to_owned`][1.9ts].
* [Spawning processes with `Command::output` no longer creates extra
  threads][1.9sp].
* [`#[derive(PartialEq)]` and `#[derive(PartialOrd)]` emit less code
  for C-like enums][1.9cl].

Misc
----

* [Passing the `--quiet` flag to a test runner will produce
  much-abbreviated output][1.9q].
* The Rust Project now publishes std binaries for the
  `mips-unknown-linux-musl`, `mipsel-unknown-linux-musl`, and
  `i586-pc-windows-msvc` targets.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

* [`std::sync::Once` is poisoned if its initialization function
  fails][1.9o].
* [It is illegal to define methods with the same name in overlapping
  inherent `impl` blocks][1.9sn].
* [`fn` item types are zero sized, and each `fn` names a unique
  type][1.9fn]. This will break code that transmutes `fn`s, so calling
  `transmute` on a `fn` type will generate a warning for a few cycles,
  then will be converted to an error.
* [Improvements to const evaluation may trigger new errors when integer
  literals are out of range][1.9ce].

Version 1.8.0 (2016-04-14)
==========================

Language
--------

* Rust supports overloading of compound assignment statements like
  `+=` by implementing the [`AddAssign`], [`SubAssign`],
  [`MulAssign`], [`DivAssign`], [`RemAssign`], [`BitAndAssign`],
  [`BitOrAssign`], [`BitXorAssign`], [`ShlAssign`], or [`ShrAssign`]
  traits. [RFC 953].
* Empty structs can be defined with braces, as in `struct Foo { }`, in
  addition to the non-braced form, `struct Foo;`. [RFC 218].

Libraries
---------

* Stabilized APIs:
  * [`str::encode_utf16`] (renamed from `utf16_units`)
  * [`str::EncodeUtf16`] (renamed from `Utf16Units`)
  * [`Ref::map`]
  * [`RefMut::map`]
  * [`ptr::drop_in_place`]
  * [`time::Instant`]
  * [`time::SystemTime`]
  * [`Instant::now`]
  * [`Instant::duration_since`] (renamed from `duration_from_earlier`)
  * [`Instant::elapsed`]
  * [`SystemTime::now`]
  * [`SystemTime::duration_since`] (renamed from `duration_from_earlier`)
  * [`SystemTime::elapsed`]
  * Various `Add`/`Sub` impls for `Time` and `SystemTime`
  * [`SystemTimeError`]
  * [`SystemTimeError::duration`]
  * Various impls for `SystemTimeError`
  * [`UNIX_EPOCH`]
  * [`AddAssign`], [`SubAssign`], [`MulAssign`], [`DivAssign`],
    [`RemAssign`], [`BitAndAssign`], [`BitOrAssign`],
    [`BitXorAssign`], [`ShlAssign`], [`ShrAssign`].
* [The `write!` and `writeln!` macros correctly emit errors if any of
  their arguments can't be formatted][1.8w].
* [Various I/O functions support large files on 32-bit Linux][1.8l].
* [The Unix-specific `raw` modules, which contain a number of
  redefined C types are deprecated][1.8r], including `os::raw::unix`,
  `os::raw::macos`, and `os::raw::linux`. These modules defined types
  such as `ino_t` and `dev_t`. The inconsistency of these definitions
  across platforms was making it difficult to implement `std`
  correctly. Those that need these definitions should use the `libc`
  crate. [RFC 1415].
* The Unix-specific `MetadataExt` traits, including
  `os::unix::fs::MetadataExt`, which expose values such as inode
  numbers [no longer return platform-specific types][1.8r], but
  instead return widened integers. [RFC 1415].
* [`btree_set::{IntoIter, Iter, Range}` are covariant][1.8cv].
* [Atomic loads and stores are not volatile][1.8a].
* [All types in `sync::mpsc` implement `fmt::Debug`][1.8mp].

Performance
-----------

* [Inlining hash functions lead to a 3% compile-time improvement in
  some workloads][1.8h].
* When using jemalloc, its symbols are [unprefixed so that it
  overrides the libc malloc implementation][1.8h]. This means that for
  rustc, LLVM is now using jemalloc, which results in a 6%
  compile-time improvement on a specific workload.
* [Avoid quadratic growth in function size due to cleanups][1.8cu].

Misc
----

* [32-bit MSVC builds finally implement unwinding][1.8ms].
  i686-pc-windows-msvc is now considered a tier-1 platform.
* [The `--print targets` flag prints a list of supported targets][1.8t].
* [The `--print cfg` flag prints the `cfg`s defined for the current
  target][1.8cf].
* [`rustc` can be built with an new Cargo-based build system, written
  in Rust][1.8b].  It will eventually replace Rust's Makefile-based
  build system. To enable it configure with `configure --rustbuild`.
* [Errors for non-exhaustive `match` patterns now list up to 3 missing
  variants while also indicating the total number of missing variants
  if more than 3][1.8m].
* [Executable stacks are disabled on Linux and BSD][1.8nx].
* The Rust Project now publishes binary releases of the standard
  library for a number of tier-2 targets:
  `armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf`, `powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu`,
  `powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu`, `powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu`
  `x86_64-rumprun-netbsd`. These can be installed with
  tools such as [multirust][1.8mr].

Cargo
-----

* [`cargo init` creates a new Cargo project in the current
  directory][1.8ci].  It is otherwise like `cargo new`.
* [Cargo has configuration keys for `-v` and
  `--color`][1.8cc]. `verbose` and `color`, respectively, go in the
  `[term]` section of `.cargo/config`.
* [Configuration keys that evaluate to strings or integers can be set
  via environment variables][1.8ce]. For example the `build.jobs` key
  can be set via `CARGO_BUILD_JOBS`. Environment variables take
  precedence over config files.
* [Target-specific dependencies support Rust `cfg` syntax for
  describing targets][1.8cfg] so that dependencies for multiple
  targets can be specified together. [RFC 1361].
* [The environment variables `CARGO_TARGET_ROOT`, `RUSTC`, and
  `RUSTDOC` take precedence over the `build.target-dir`,
  `build.rustc`, and `build.rustdoc` configuration values][1.8cfv].
* [The child process tree is killed on Windows when Cargo is
  killed][1.8ck].
* [The `build.target` configuration value sets the target platform,
  like `--target`][1.8ct].

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

* [Unstable compiler flags have been further restricted][1.8u]. Since
  1.0 `-Z` flags have been considered unstable, and other flags that
  were considered unstable additionally required passing `-Z
  unstable-options` to access. Unlike unstable language and library
  features though, these options have been accessible on the stable
  release channel. Going forward, *new unstable flags will not be
  available on the stable release channel*, and old unstable flags
  will warn about their usage. In the future, all unstable flags will
  be unavailable on the stable release channel.
* [It is no longer possible to `match` on empty enum variants using
  the `Variant(..)` syntax][1.8v]. This has been a warning since 1.6.
* The Unix-specific `MetadataExt` traits, including
  `os::unix::fs::MetadataExt`, which expose values such as inode
  numbers [no longer return platform-specific types][1.8r], but
  instead return widened integers. [RFC 1415].
* [Modules sourced from the filesystem cannot appear within arbitrary
  blocks, but only within other modules][1.8mf].
* [`--cfg` compiler flags are parsed strictly as identifiers][1.8c].
* On Unix, [stack overflow triggers a runtime abort instead of a
  SIGSEGV][1.8so].
* [`Command::spawn` and its equivalents return an error if any of
  its command-line arguments contain interior `NUL`s][1.8n].
* [Tuple and unit enum variants from other crates are in the type
  namespace][1.8tn].
* [On Windows `rustc` emits `.lib` files for the `staticlib` library
  type instead of `.a` files][1.8st]. Additionally, for the MSVC
  toolchain, `rustc` emits import libraries named `foo.dll.lib`
  instead of `foo.lib`.

* [Validating UTF-8 is faster by a factor of between 7 and 14x for
  ASCII input][1.7utf8]. This means that creating `String`s and `str`s
  from bytes is faster.
* [The performance of `LineWriter` (and thus `io::stdout`) was
  improved by using `memchr` to search for newlines][1.7m].
* [`f32::to_degrees` and `f32::to_radians` are stable][1.7f]. The
  `f64` variants were stabilized previously.
* [`BTreeMap` was rewritten to use less memory and improve the performance
  of insertion and iteration, the latter by as much as 5x][1.7bm].
* [`BTreeSet` and its iterators, `Iter`, `IntoIter`, and `Range` are
  covariant over their contained type][1.7bt].
* [`LinkedList` and its iterators, `Iter` and `IntoIter` are covariant
  over their contained type][1.7ll].
* [`str::replace` now accepts a `Pattern`][1.7rp], like other string
  searching methods.
* [`Any` is implemented for unsized types][1.7a].
* [`Hash` is implemented for `Duration`][1.7h].

Misc
----

* [When running tests with `--test`, rustdoc will pass `--cfg`
  arguments to the compiler][1.7dt].
* [The compiler is built with RPATH information by default][1.7rpa].
  This means that it will be possible to run `rustc` when installed in
  unusual configurations without configuring the dynamic linker search
  path explicitly.
* [`rustc` passes `--enable-new-dtags` to GNU ld][1.7dta]. This makes
  any RPATH entries (emitted with `-C rpath`) *not* take precedence
  over `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`.

Cargo
-----

* [`cargo rustc` accepts a `--profile` flag that runs `rustc` under
  any of the compilation profiles, 'dev', 'bench', or 'test'][1.7cp].
* [The `rerun-if-changed` build script directive no longer causes the
  build script to incorrectly run twice in certain scenarios][1.7rr].

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

* Soundness fixes to the interactions between associated types and
  lifetimes, specified in [RFC 1214], [now generate errors][1.7sf] for
  code that violates the new rules. This is a significant change that
  is known to break existing code, so it has emitted warnings for the
  new error cases since 1.4 to give crate authors time to adapt. The
  details of what is changing are subtle; read the RFC for more.
* [Several bugs in the compiler's visibility calculations were
  fixed][1.7v]. Since this was found to break significant amounts of
  code, the new errors will be emitted as warnings for several release
  cycles, under the `private_in_public` lint.
* Defaulted type parameters were accidentally accepted in positions
  that were not intended. In this release, [defaulted type parameters
  appearing outside of type definitions will generate a
  warning][1.7d], which will become an error in future releases.
* [Parsing "." as a float results in an error instead of 0][1.7p].
  That is, `".".parse::<f32>()` returns `Err`, not `Ok(0.0)`.
* [Borrows of closure parameters may not outlive the closure][1.7bc].

Version 1.6.0 (2016-01-21)
==========================

Language
--------

* The `#![no_std]` attribute causes a crate to not be linked to the
  standard library, but only the [core library][1.6co], as described
  in [RFC 1184]. The core library defines common types and traits but
  has no platform dependencies whatsoever, and is the basis for Rust
  software in environments that cannot support a full port of the
  standard library, such as operating systems. Most of the core
  library is now stable.

Libraries
---------

* Stabilized APIs:
  [`Read::read_exact`],
  [`ErrorKind::UnexpectedEof`] (renamed from `UnexpectedEOF`),
  [`fs::DirBuilder`], [`fs::DirBuilder::new`],
  [`fs::DirBuilder::recursive`], [`fs::DirBuilder::create`],
  [`os::unix::fs::DirBuilderExt`],
  [`os::unix::fs::DirBuilderExt::mode`], [`vec::Drain`],
  [`vec::Vec::drain`], [`string::Drain`], [`string::String::drain`],
  [`vec_deque::Drain`], [`vec_deque::VecDeque::drain`],
  [`collections::hash_map::Drain`],
  [`collections::hash_map::HashMap::drain`],
  [`collections::hash_set::Drain`],
  [`collections::hash_set::HashSet::drain`],
  [`collections::binary_heap::Drain`],
  [`collections::binary_heap::BinaryHeap::drain`],
  [`Vec::extend_from_slice`] (renamed from `push_all`),
  [`Mutex::get_mut`], [`Mutex::into_inner`], [`RwLock::get_mut`],
  [`RwLock::into_inner`],
  [`Iterator::min_by_key`] (renamed from `min_by`),
  [`Iterator::max_by_key`] (renamed from `max_by`).
* The [core library][1.6co] is stable, as are most of its APIs.
* [The `assert_eq!` macro supports arguments that don't implement
  `Sized`][1.6ae], such as arrays. In this way it behaves more like
  `assert!`.
* Several timer functions that take duration in milliseconds [are
  deprecated in favor of those that take `Duration`][1.6ms]. These
  include `Condvar::wait_timeout_ms`, `thread::sleep_ms`, and
  `thread::park_timeout_ms`.
* The algorithm by which `Vec` reserves additional elements was
  [tweaked to not allocate excessive space][1.6a] while still growing
  exponentially.
* `From` conversions are [implemented from integers to floats][1.6f]
  in cases where the conversion is lossless. Thus they are not
  implemented for 32-bit ints to `f32`, nor for 64-bit ints to `f32`
  or `f64`. They are also not implemented for `isize` and `usize`
  because the implementations would be platform-specific. `From` is
  also implemented from `f32` to `f64`.
* `From<&Path>` and `From<PathBuf>` are implemented for `Cow<Path>`.
* `From<T>` is implemented for `Box<T>`, `Rc<T>` and `Arc<T>`.
* `IntoIterator` is implemented for `&PathBuf` and `&Path`.
* [`BinaryHeap` was refactored][1.6bh] for modest performance
  improvements.
* Sorting slices that are already sorted [is 50% faster in some
  cases][1.6s].

Cargo
-----

* Cargo will look in `$CARGO_HOME/bin` for subcommands [by default][1.6c].
* Cargo build scripts can specify their dependencies by emitting the
  [`rerun-if-changed`][1.6rr] key.
* crates.io will reject publication of crates with dependencies that
  have a wildcard version constraint. Crates with wildcard
  dependencies were seen to cause a variety of problems, as described
  in [RFC 1241]. Since 1.5 publication of such crates has emitted a
  warning.
* `cargo clean` [accepts a `--release` flag][1.6cc] to clean the
  release folder.  A variety of artifacts that Cargo failed to clean
  are now correctly deleted.

Misc
----

* The `unreachable_code` lint [warns when a function call's argument
  diverges][1.6dv].
* The parser indicates [failures that may be caused by
  confusingly-similar Unicode characters][1.6uc]
* Certain macro errors [are reported at definition time][1.6m], not
  expansion.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

* The compiler no longer makes use of the [`RUST_PATH`][1.6rp]
  environment variable when locating crates. This was a pre-cargo
  feature for integrating with the package manager that was
  accidentally never removed.
* [A number of bugs were fixed in the privacy checker][1.6p] that
  could cause previously-accepted code to break.
* [Modules and unit/tuple structs may not share the same name][1.6ts].
* [Bugs in pattern matching unit structs were fixed][1.6us]. The tuple
  struct pattern syntax (`Foo(..)`) can no longer be used to match
  unit structs. This is a warning now, but will become an error in
  future releases. Patterns that share the same name as a const are
  now an error.
* A bug was fixed that causes [rustc not to apply default type
  parameters][1.6xc] when resolving certain method implementations of
  traits defined in other crates.

Version 1.5.0 (2015-12-10)
==========================

* ~700 changes, numerous bugfixes

Highlights
----------

* Stabilized APIs:
  [`BinaryHeap::from`], [`BinaryHeap::into_sorted_vec`],
  [`BinaryHeap::into_vec`], [`Condvar::wait_timeout`],
  [`FileTypeExt::is_block_device`], [`FileTypeExt::is_char_device`],
  [`FileTypeExt::is_fifo`], [`FileTypeExt::is_socket`],
  [`FileTypeExt`], [`Formatter::alternate`], [`Formatter::fill`],
  [`Formatter::precision`], [`Formatter::sign_aware_zero_pad`],
  [`Formatter::sign_minus`], [`Formatter::sign_plus`],
  [`Formatter::width`], [`Iterator::cmp`], [`Iterator::eq`],
  [`Iterator::ge`], [`Iterator::gt`], [`Iterator::le`],
  [`Iterator::lt`], [`Iterator::ne`], [`Iterator::partial_cmp`],
  [`Path::canonicalize`], [`Path::exists`], [`Path::is_dir`],
  [`Path::is_file`], [`Path::metadata`], [`Path::read_dir`],
  [`Path::read_link`], [`Path::symlink_metadata`],
  [`Utf8Error::valid_up_to`], [`Vec::resize`],
  [`VecDeque::as_mut_slices`], [`VecDeque::as_slices`],
  [`VecDeque::insert`], [`VecDeque::shrink_to_fit`],
  [`VecDeque::swap_remove_back`], [`VecDeque::swap_remove_front`],
  [`slice::split_first_mut`], [`slice::split_first`],
  [`slice::split_last_mut`], [`slice::split_last`],
  [`char::from_u32_unchecked`], [`fs::canonicalize`],
  [`str::MatchIndices`], [`str::RMatchIndices`],
  [`str::match_indices`], [`str::rmatch_indices`],
  [`str::slice_mut_unchecked`], [`string::ParseError`].
* Rust applications hosted on crates.io can be installed locally to
  `~/.cargo/bin` with the [`cargo install`] command. Among other
  things this makes it easier to augment Cargo with new subcommands:
  when a binary named e.g. `cargo-foo` is found in `$PATH` it can be
  invoked as `cargo foo`.
* Crates with wildcard (`*`) dependencies will [emit warnings when
  published][1.5w]. In 1.6 it will no longer be possible to publish
  crates with wildcard dependencies.

Breaking Changes
----------------

* The rules determining when a particular lifetime must outlive
  a particular value (known as '[dropck]') have been [modified
  to not rely on parametricity][1.5p].
* [Implementations of `AsRef` and `AsMut` were added to `Box`, `Rc`,
  and `Arc`][1.5a]. Because these smart pointer types implement
  `Deref`, this causes breakage in cases where the interior type
  contains methods of the same name.
* [Correct a bug in Rc/Arc][1.5c] that caused [dropck] to be unaware
  that they could drop their content. Soundness fix.
* All method invocations are [properly checked][1.5wf1] for
  [well-formedness][1.5wf2]. Soundness fix.
* Traits whose supertraits contain `Self` are [not object
  safe][1.5o]. Soundness fix.
* Target specifications support a [`no_default_libraries`][1.5nd]
  setting that controls whether `-nodefaultlibs` is passed to the
  linker, and in turn the `is_like_windows` setting no longer affects
  the `-nodefaultlibs` flag.
* `#[derive(Show)]`, long-deprecated, [has been removed][1.5ds].
* The `#[inline]` and `#[repr]` attributes [can only appear
  in valid locations][1.5at].
* Native libraries linked from the local crate are [passed to
  the linker before native libraries from upstream crates][1.5nl].
* Two rarely-used attributes, `#[no_debug]` and
  `#[omit_gdb_pretty_printer_section]` [are feature gated][1.5fg].
* Negation of unsigned integers, which has been a warning for
  several releases, [is now behind a feature gate and will
  generate errors][1.5nu].
* The parser accidentally accepted visibility modifiers on
  enum variants, a bug [which has been fixed][1.5ev].
* [A bug was fixed that allowed `use` statements to import unstable
  features][1.5use].

Language
--------

* When evaluating expressions at compile-time that are not
  compile-time constants (const-evaluating expressions in non-const
  contexts), incorrect code such as overlong bitshifts and arithmetic
  overflow will [generate a warning instead of an error][1.5ce],
  delaying the error until runtime. This will allow the
  const-evaluator to be expanded in the future backwards-compatibly.
* The `improper_ctypes` lint [no longer warns about using `isize` and
  `usize` in FFI][1.5ict].

Libraries
---------

* `Arc<T>` and `Rc<T>` are [covariant with respect to `T` instead of
  invariant][1.5c].
* `Default` is [implemented for mutable slices][1.5d].
* `FromStr` is [implemented for `SockAddrV4` and `SockAddrV6`][1.5s].
* There are now `From` conversions [between floating point
  types][1.5f] where the conversions are lossless.
* There are now `From` conversions [between integer types][1.5i] where
  the conversions are lossless.
* [`fs::Metadata` implements `Clone`][1.5fs].
* The `parse` method [accepts a leading "+" when parsing
  integers][1.5pi].
* [`AsMut` is implemented for `Vec`][1.5am].
* The `clone_from` implementations for `String` and `BinaryHeap` [have
  been optimized][1.5cf] and no longer rely on the default impl.
* The `extern "Rust"`, `extern "C"`, `unsafe extern "Rust"` and
  `unsafe extern "C"` function types now [implement `Clone`,
  `PartialEq`, `Eq`, `PartialOrd`, `Ord`, `Hash`, `fmt::Pointer`, and
  `fmt::Debug` for up to 12 arguments][1.5fp].
* [Dropping `Vec`s is much faster in unoptimized builds when the
  element types don't implement `Drop`][1.5dv].
* A bug that caused in incorrect behavior when [combining `VecDeque`
  with zero-sized types][1.5vdz] was resolved.
* [`PartialOrd` for slices is faster][1.5po].

Miscellaneous
-------------

* [Crate metadata size was reduced by 20%][1.5md].
* [Improvements to code generation reduced the size of libcore by 3.3
  MB and rustc's memory usage by 18MB][1.5m].
* [Improvements to deref translation increased performance in
  unoptimized builds][1.5dr].
* Various errors in trait resolution [are deduplicated to only be
  reported once][1.5te].
* Rust has preliminary [support for rumprun kernels][1.5rr].
* Rust has preliminary [support for NetBSD on amd64][1.5na].

Version 1.4.0 (2015-10-29)
==========================

* ~1200 changes, numerous bugfixes

Highlights
----------

* Windows builds targeting the 64-bit MSVC ABI and linker (instead of
  GNU) are now supported and recommended for use.

Breaking Changes
----------------

* [Several changes have been made to fix type soundness and improve
  the behavior of associated types][sound]. See [RFC 1214]. Although
  we have mostly introduced these changes as warnings this release, to
  become errors next release, there are still some scenarios that will
  see immediate breakage.
* [The `str::lines` and `BufRead::lines` iterators treat `\r\n` as
  line breaks in addition to `\n`][crlf].
* [Loans of `'static` lifetime extend to the end of a function][stat].
* [`str::parse` no longer introduces avoidable rounding error when
  parsing floating point numbers. Together with earlier changes to
  float formatting/output, "round trips" like f.to_string().parse()
  now preserve the value of f exactly. Additionally, leading plus
  signs are now accepted][fp3].


Language
--------

* `use` statements that import multiple items [can now rename
  them][i], as in `use foo::{bar as kitten, baz as puppy}`.
* [Binops work correctly on fat pointers][binfat].
* `pub extern crate`, which does not behave as expected, [issues a
  warning][pec] until a better solution is found.

Libraries
---------

* [Many APIs were stabilized][stab]: `<Box<str>>::into_string`,
  [`Arc::downgrade`], [`Arc::get_mut`], [`Arc::make_mut`],
  [`Arc::try_unwrap`], [`Box::from_raw`], [`Box::into_raw`], [`CStr::to_str`],

  [`slice::IterMut::into_slice`], [`str::CharIndices::as_str`],
  [`str::Chars::as_str`], [`str::split_at_mut`], [`str::split_at`],
  [`sync::Weak::upgrade`], [`sync::Weak`], [`thread::park_timeout`],
  [`thread::sleep`].
* [Some APIs were deprecated][dep]: `BTreeMap::with_b`,
  `BTreeSet::with_b`, `Option::as_mut_slice`, `Option::as_slice`,
  `Result::as_mut_slice`, `Result::as_slice`, `f32::from_str_radix`,
  `f64::from_str_radix`.
* [Reverse-searching strings is faster with the 'two-way'
  algorithm][s].
* [`std::io::copy` allows `?Sized` arguments][cc].
* The `Windows`, `Chunks`, and `ChunksMut` iterators over slices all
  [override `count`, `nth` and `last` with an *O*(1)
  implementation][it].
* [`Default` is implemented for arrays up to `[T; 32]`][d].
* [`IntoRawFd` has been added to the Unix-specific prelude,
  `IntoRawSocket` and `IntoRawHandle` to the Windows-specific
  prelude][pr].
* [`Extend<String>` and `FromIterator<String` are both implemented for
  `String`][es].
* [`IntoIterator` is implemented for references to `Option` and
  `Result`][into2].
* [`HashMap` and `HashSet` implement `Extend<&T>` where `T:
  Copy`][ext] as part of [RFC 839]. This will cause type inference
  breakage in rare situations.
* [`BinaryHeap` implements `Debug`][bh2].
* [`Borrow` and `BorrowMut` are implemented for fixed-size
  arrays][bm].
* [`extern fn`s with the "Rust" and "C" ABIs implement common
  traits including `Eq`, `Ord`, `Debug`, `Hash`][fp].
* [String comparison is faster][faststr].
* `&mut T` where `T: std::fmt::Write` [also implements
  `std::fmt::Write`][mutw].
* [A stable regression in `VecDeque::push_back` and other
  capacity-altering methods that caused panics for zero-sized types
  was fixed][vd].
* [Function pointers implement traits for up to 12 parameters][fp2].

Miscellaneous
-------------

* The compiler [no longer uses the 'morestack' feature to prevent
  stack overflow][mm]. Instead it uses guard pages and stack
  probes (though stack probes are not yet implemented on any platform
  but Windows).
* [The compiler matches traits faster when projections are involved][p].
* The 'improper_ctypes' lint [no longer warns about use of `isize` and
  `usize`][ffi].
* [Cargo now displays useful information about what its doing during
  `cargo update`][cu].

Version 1.3.0 (2015-09-17)
==============================

* ~900 changes, numerous bugfixes

Highlights
----------

* The [new object lifetime defaults][nold] have been [turned
  on][nold2] after a cycle of warnings about the change. Now types
  like `&'a Box<Trait>` (or `&'a Rc<Trait>`, etc) will change from
  being interpreted as `&'a Box<Trait+'a>` to `&'a
  Box<Trait+'static>`.
* [The Rustonomicon][nom] is a new book in the official documentation
  that dives into writing unsafe Rust.
* The [`Duration`] API, [has been stabilized][ds]. This basic unit of
  timekeeping is employed by other std APIs, as well as out-of-tree
  time crates.

Breaking Changes
----------------

* The [new object lifetime defaults][nold] have been [turned
  on][nold2] after a cycle of warnings about the change.
* There is a known [regression][lr] in how object lifetime elision is
  interpreted, the proper solution for which is undetermined.
* The `#[prelude_import]` attribute, an internal implementation
  detail, was accidentally stabilized previously. [It has been put
  behind the `prelude_import` feature gate][pi]. This change is
  believed to break no existing code.
* The behavior of [`size_of_val`][dst1] and [`align_of_val`][dst2] is
  [more sane for dynamically sized types][dst3]. Code that relied on
  the previous behavior is thought to be broken.
* The `dropck` rules, which checks that destructors can't access
  destroyed values, [have been updated][dropck] to match the
  [RFC][dropckrfc]. This fixes some soundness holes, and as such will
  cause some previously-compiling code to no longer build.

Language
--------

* The [new object lifetime defaults][nold] have been [turned
  on][nold2] after a cycle of warnings about the change.
* Semicolons may [now follow types and paths in
  macros](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/27000).
* The behavior of [`size_of_val`][dst1] and [`align_of_val`][dst2] is
  [more sane for dynamically sized types][dst3]. Code that relied on
  the previous behavior is not known to exist, and suspected to be
  broken.
* `'static` variables [may now be recursive][st].
* `ref` bindings choose between [`Deref`] and [`DerefMut`]
  implementations correctly.
* The `dropck` rules, which checks that destructors can't access
  destroyed values, [have been updated][dropck] to match the
  [RFC][dropckrfc].

Libraries
---------

* The [`Duration`] API, [has been stabilized][ds], as well as the
  `std::time` module, which presently contains only `Duration`.
* `Box<str>` and `Box<[T]>` both implement `Clone`.
* The owned C string, [`CString`], implements [`Borrow`] and the
  borrowed C string, [`CStr`], implements [`ToOwned`]. The two of
  these allow C strings to be borrowed and cloned in generic code.
* [`CStr`] implements [`Debug`].
* [`AtomicPtr`] implements [`Debug`].
* [`Error`] trait objects [can be downcast to their concrete types][e]
  in many common configurations, using the [`is`], [`downcast`],
  [`downcast_ref`] and [`downcast_mut`] methods, similarly to the
  [`Any`] trait.
* Searching for substrings now [employs the two-way algorithm][search]
  instead of doing a naive search. This gives major speedups to a
  number of methods, including [`contains`][sc], [`find`][sf],
  [`rfind`][srf], [`split`][ss]. [`starts_with`][ssw] and
  [`ends_with`][sew] are also faster.
* The performance of `PartialEq` for slices is [much faster][ps].
* The [`Hash`] trait offers the default method, [`hash_slice`], which
  is overridden and optimized by the implementations for scalars.
* The [`Hasher`] trait now has a number of specialized `write_*`
  methods for primitive types, for efficiency.
* The I/O-specific error type, [`std::io::Error`][ie], gained a set of
  methods for accessing the 'inner error', if any: [`get_ref`][iegr],
  [`get_mut`][iegm], [`into_inner`][ieii]. As well, the implementation
  of [`std::error::Error::cause`][iec] also delegates to the inner
  error.
* [`process::Child`][pc] gained the [`id`] method, which returns a
  `u32` representing the platform-specific process identifier.
* The [`connect`] method on slices is deprecated, replaced by the new
  [`join`] method (note that both of these are on the *unstable*
  [`SliceConcatExt`] trait, but through the magic of the prelude are
  available to stable code anyway).
* The [`Div`] operator is implemented for [`Wrapping`] types.
* [`DerefMut` is implemented for `String`][dms].
* Performance of SipHash (the default hasher for `HashMap`) is
  [better for long data][sh].
* [`AtomicPtr`] implements [`Send`].
* The [`read_to_end`] implementations for [`Stdin`] and [`File`]
  are now [specialized to use uninitialized buffers for increased
  performance][rte].
* Lifetime parameters of foreign functions [are now resolved
  properly][f].

Misc
----

* Rust can now, with some coercion, [produce programs that run on
  Windows XP][xp], though XP is not considered a supported platform.
* Porting Rust on Windows from the GNU toolchain to MSVC continues
  ([1][win1], [2][win2], [3][win3], [4][win4]). It is still not
  recommended for use in 1.3, though should be fully-functional
  in the [64-bit 1.4 beta][b14].
* On Fedora-based systems installation will [properly configure the
  dynamic linker][fl].
* The compiler gained many new extended error descriptions, which can
  be accessed with the `--explain` flag.
* The `dropck` pass, which checks that destructors can't access
  destroyed values, [has been rewritten][27261]. This fixes some
  soundness holes, and as such will cause some previously-compiling
  code to no longer build.
* `rustc` now uses [LLVM to write archive files where possible][ar].
  Eventually this will eliminate the compiler's dependency on the ar
  utility.
* Rust has [preliminary support for i686 FreeBSD][26959] (it has long
  supported FreeBSD on x86_64).
* The [`unused_mut`][lum], [`unconditional_recursion`][lur],
  [`improper_ctypes`][lic], and [`negate_unsigned`][lnu] lints are
  more strict.
* If landing pads are disabled (with `-Z no-landing-pads`), [`panic!`
  will kill the process instead of leaking][nlp].

Version 1.2.0 (2015-08-07)
==========================

* ~1200 changes, numerous bugfixes

Highlights
----------

* [Dynamically-sized-type coercions][dst] allow smart pointer types
  like `Rc` to contain types without a fixed size, arrays and trait
  objects, finally enabling use of `Rc<[T]>` and completing the
  implementation of DST.
* [Parallel codegen][parcodegen] is now working again, which can
  substantially speed up large builds in debug mode; It also gets
  another ~33% speedup when bootstrapping on a 4 core machine (using 8
  jobs). It's not enabled by default, but will be "in the near
  future". It can be activated with the `-C codegen-units=N` flag to
  `rustc`.
* This is the first release with [experimental support for linking
  with the MSVC linker and lib C on Windows (instead of using the GNU
  variants via MinGW)][win]. It is yet recommended only for the most
  intrepid Rustaceans.
* Benchmark compilations are showing a 30% improvement in
  bootstrapping over 1.1.

Breaking Changes
----------------

* The [`to_uppercase`] and [`to_lowercase`] methods on `char` now do
  unicode case mapping, which is a previously-planned change in
  behavior and considered a bugfix.
* [`mem::align_of`] now specifies [the *minimum alignment* for
  T][align], which is usually the alignment programs are interested
  in, and the same value reported by clang's
  `alignof`. [`mem::min_align_of`] is deprecated. This is not known to
  break real code.
* [The `#[packed]` attribute is no longer silently accepted by the
  compiler][packed]. This attribute did nothing and code that
  mentioned it likely did not work as intended.
* Associated type defaults are [now behind the
  `associated_type_defaults` feature gate][ad]. In 1.1 associated type
  defaults *did not work*, but could be mentioned syntactically. As
  such this breakage has minimal impact.

Language
--------

* Patterns with `ref mut` now correctly invoke [`DerefMut`] when
  matching against dereferenceable values.

Libraries
---------

* The [`Extend`] trait, which grows a collection from an iterator, is
  implemented over iterators of references, for `String`, `Vec`,
  `LinkedList`, `VecDeque`, `EnumSet`, `BinaryHeap`, `VecMap`,
  `BTreeSet` and `BTreeMap`. [RFC][extend-rfc].
* The [`iter::once`] function returns an iterator that yields a single
  element, and [`iter::empty`] returns an iterator that yields no
  elements.
* The [`matches`] and [`rmatches`] methods on `str` return iterators
  over substring matches.
* [`Cell`] and [`RefCell`] both implement `Eq`.
* A number of methods for wrapping arithmetic are added to the
  integral types, [`wrapping_div`], [`wrapping_rem`],
  [`wrapping_neg`], [`wrapping_shl`], [`wrapping_shr`]. These are in
  addition to the existing [`wrapping_add`], [`wrapping_sub`], and
  [`wrapping_mul`] methods, and alternatives to the [`Wrapping`]
  type.. It is illegal for the default arithmetic operations in Rust
  to overflow; the desire to wrap must be explicit.
* The `{:#?}` formatting specifier [displays the alternate,
  pretty-printed][debugfmt] form of the `Debug` formatter. This
  feature was actually introduced prior to 1.0 with little
  fanfare.
* [`fmt::Formatter`] implements [`fmt::Write`], a `fmt`-specific trait
  for writing data to formatted strings, similar to [`io::Write`].
* [`fmt::Formatter`] adds 'debug builder' methods, [`debug_struct`],
  [`debug_tuple`], [`debug_list`], [`debug_set`], [`debug_map`]. These
  are used by code generators to emit implementations of [`Debug`].
* `str` has new [`to_uppercase`][strup] and [`to_lowercase`][strlow]
  methods that convert case, following Unicode case mapping.
* It is now easier to handle poisoned locks. The [`PoisonError`]
  type, returned by failing lock operations, exposes `into_inner`,
  `get_ref`, and `get_mut`, which all give access to the inner lock
  guard, and allow the poisoned lock to continue to operate. The
  `is_poisoned` method of [`RwLock`] and [`Mutex`] can poll for a
  poisoned lock without attempting to take the lock.
* On Unix the [`FromRawFd`] trait is implemented for [`Stdio`], and
  [`AsRawFd`] for [`ChildStdin`], [`ChildStdout`], [`ChildStderr`].
  On Windows the `FromRawHandle` trait is implemented for `Stdio`,
  and `AsRawHandle` for `ChildStdin`, `ChildStdout`,
  `ChildStderr`.
* [`io::ErrorKind`] has a new variant, `InvalidData`, which indicates
  malformed input.

Misc
----

* `rustc` employs smarter heuristics for guessing at [typos].
* `rustc` emits more efficient code for [no-op conversions between
  unsafe pointers][nop].
* Fat pointers are now [passed in pairs of immediate arguments][fat],
  resulting in faster compile times and smaller code.

Version 1.1.0 (2015-06-25)
=========================

* ~850 changes, numerous bugfixes

Highlights
----------

* The [`std::fs` module has been expanded][fs] to expand the set of
  functionality exposed:
  * `DirEntry` now supports optimizations like `file_type` and `metadata` which
    don't incur a syscall on some platforms.
  * A `symlink_metadata` function has been added.
  * The `fs::Metadata` structure now lowers to its OS counterpart, providing
    access to all underlying information.
* The compiler now contains extended explanations of many errors. When an error
  with an explanation occurs the compiler suggests using the `--explain` flag
  to read the explanation. Error explanations are also [available online][err-index].
* Thanks to multiple [improvements][sk] to [type checking][pre], as
  well as other work, the time to bootstrap the compiler decreased by
  32%.

Libraries
---------

* The [`str::split_whitespace`] method splits a string on unicode
  whitespace boundaries.
* On both Windows and Unix, new extension traits provide conversion of
  I/O types to and from the underlying system handles. On Unix, these
  traits are [`FromRawFd`] and [`AsRawFd`], on Windows `FromRawHandle`
  and `AsRawHandle`. These are implemented for `File`, `TcpStream`,
  `TcpListener`, and `UpdSocket`. Further implementations for
  `std::process` will be stabilized later.
* On Unix, [`std::os::unix::symlink`] creates symlinks. On
  Windows, symlinks can be created with
  `std::os::windows::symlink_dir` and
  `std::os::windows::symlink_file`.
* The `mpsc::Receiver` type can now be converted into an iterator with
  `into_iter` on the [`IntoIterator`] trait.
* `Ipv4Addr` can be created from `u32` with the `From<u32>`
  implementation of the [`From`] trait.
* The `Debug` implementation for `RangeFull` [creates output that is
  more consistent with other implementations][rf].
* [`Debug` is implemented for `File`][file].
* The `Default` implementation for `Arc` [no longer requires `Sync +
  Send`][arc].
* [The `Iterator` methods `count`, `nth`, and `last` have been
  overridden for slices to have *O*(1) performance instead of *O*(*n*)][si].
* Incorrect handling of paths on Windows has been improved in both the
  compiler and the standard library.
* [`AtomicPtr` gained a `Default` implementation][ap].
* In accordance with Rust's policy on arithmetic overflow `abs` now
  [panics on overflow when debug assertions are enabled][abs].
* The [`Cloned`] iterator, which was accidentally left unstable for
  1.0 [has been stabilized][c].
* The [`Incoming`] iterator, which iterates over incoming TCP
  connections, and which was accidentally unnamable in 1.0, [is now
  properly exported][inc].
* [`BinaryHeap`] no longer corrupts itself [when functions called by
  `sift_up` or `sift_down` panic][bh].
* The [`split_off`] method of `LinkedList` [no longer corrupts
  the list in certain scenarios][ll].

Misc
----

* Type checking performance [has improved notably][sk] with
  [multiple improvements][pre].
* The compiler [suggests code changes][ch] for more errors.
* rustc and it's build system have experimental support for [building
  toolchains against MUSL][m] instead of glibc on Linux.
* The compiler defines the `target_env` cfg value, which is used for
  distinguishing toolchains that are otherwise for the same
  platform. Presently this is set to `gnu` for common GNU Linux
  targets and for MinGW targets, and `musl` for MUSL Linux targets.
* The [`cargo rustc`][crc] command invokes a build with custom flags
  to rustc.
* [Android executables are always position independent][pie].
* [The `drop_with_repr_extern` lint warns about mixing `repr(C)`
  with `Drop`][24935].

Version 1.0.0 (2015-05-15)
========================

* ~1500 changes, numerous bugfixes

Highlights
----------

* The vast majority of the standard library is now `#[stable]`. It is
  no longer possible to use unstable features with a stable build of
  the compiler.
* Many popular crates on [crates.io] now work on the stable release
  channel.
* Arithmetic on basic integer types now [checks for overflow in debug
  builds][overflow].

Language
--------

* Several [restrictions have been added to trait coherence][coh] in
  order to make it easier for upstream authors to change traits
  without breaking downstream code.
* Digits of binary and octal literals are [lexed more eagerly][lex] to
  improve error messages and macro behavior. For example, `0b1234` is
  now lexed as `0b1234` instead of two tokens, `0b1` and `234`.
* Trait bounds [are always invariant][inv], eliminating the need for
  the `PhantomFn` and `MarkerTrait` lang items, which have been
  removed.
* ["-" is no longer a valid character in crate names][cr], the `extern crate
  "foo" as bar` syntax has been replaced with `extern crate foo as
  bar`, and Cargo now automatically translates "-" in *package* names
  to underscore for the crate name.
* [Lifetime shadowing is an error][lt].
* [`Send` no longer implies `'static`][send-rfc].
* [UFCS now supports trait-less associated paths][moar-ufcs] like
  `MyType::default()`.
* Primitive types [now have inherent methods][prim-inherent],
  obviating the need for extension traits like `SliceExt`.
* Methods with `Self: Sized` in their `where` clause are [considered
  object-safe][self-sized], allowing many extension traits like
  `IteratorExt` to be merged into the traits they extended.
* You can now [refer to associated types][assoc-where] whose
  corresponding trait bounds appear only in a `where` clause.
* The final bits of [OIBIT landed][oibit-final], meaning that traits
  like `Send` and `Sync` are now library-defined.
* A [Reflect trait][reflect] was introduced, which means that
  downcasting via the `Any` trait is effectively limited to concrete
  types. This helps retain the potentially-important "parametricity"
  property: generic code cannot behave differently for different type
  arguments except in minor ways.
* The `unsafe_destructor` feature is now deprecated in favor of the
  [new `dropck`][rfc769]. This change is a major reduction in unsafe
  code.

Libraries
---------

* The `thread_local` module [has been renamed to `std::thread`][th].
* The methods of `IteratorExt` [have been moved to the `Iterator`
  trait itself][23300].
* Several traits that implement Rust's conventions for type
  conversions, `AsMut`, `AsRef`, `From`, and `Into` have been
  [centralized in the `std::convert` module][con].
* The `FromError` trait [was removed in favor of `From`][fe].
* The basic sleep function [has moved to
  `std::thread::sleep_ms`][slp].
* The `splitn` function now takes an `n` parameter that represents the
  number of items yielded by the returned iterator [instead of the
  number of 'splits'][spl].
* [On Unix, all file descriptors are `CLOEXEC` by default][clo].
* [Derived implementations of `PartialOrd` now order enums according
  to their explicitly-assigned discriminants][po].
* [Methods for searching strings are generic over `Pattern`s][pat],
  implemented presently by `&char`, `&str`, `FnMut(char) -> bool` and
  some others.
* [In method resolution, object methods are resolved before inherent
  methods][meth].
* [`String::from_str` has been deprecated in favor of the `From` impl,
  `String::from`][24517].
* [`io::Error` implements `Sync`][ios].
* [The `words` method on `&str` has been replaced with
  `split_whitespace`][sw], to avoid answering the tricky question, 'what is
  a word?'
* The new path and IO modules are complete and `#[stable]`. This
  was the major library focus for this cycle.
* The path API was [revised][path-normalize] to normalize `.`,
  adjusting the tradeoffs in favor of the most common usage.
* A large number of remaining APIs in `std` were also stabilized
  during this cycle; about 75% of the non-deprecated API surface
  is now stable.
* The new [string pattern API][string-pattern] landed, which makes
  the string slice API much more internally consistent and flexible.
* A new set of [generic conversion traits][conversion] replaced
  many existing ad hoc traits.
* Generic numeric traits were [completely removed][num-traits]. This
  was made possible thanks to inherent methods for primitive types,
  and the removal gives maximal flexibility for designing a numeric
  hierarchy in the future.
* The `Fn` traits are now related via [inheritance][fn-inherit]
  and provide ergonomic [blanket implementations][fn-blanket].
* The `Index` and `IndexMut` traits were changed to
  [take the index by value][index-value], enabling code like
  `hash_map["string"]` to work.
* `Copy` now [inherits][copy-clone] from `Clone`, meaning that all
  `Copy` data is known to be `Clone` as well.

Misc
----

* Many errors now have extended explanations that can be accessed with
  the `--explain` flag to `rustc`.
* Many new examples have been added to the standard library
  documentation.
* rustdoc has received a number of improvements focused on completion
  and polish.
* Metadata was tuned, shrinking binaries [by 27%][metadata-shrink].
* Much headway was made on ecosystem-wide CI, making it possible
  to [compare builds for breakage][ci-compare].

Version 1.0.0-alpha.2 (2015-02-20)
=====================================

* ~1300 changes, numerous bugfixes

* Highlights

    * The various I/O modules were [overhauled][io-rfc] to reduce
      unnecessary abstractions and provide better interoperation with
      the underlying platform. The old `io` module remains temporarily
      at `std::old_io`.
    * The standard library now [participates in feature gating][feat],
      so use of unstable libraries now requires a `#![feature(...)]`
      attribute. The impact of this change is [described on the
      forum][feat-forum]. [RFC][feat-rfc].

* Language

    * `for` loops [now operate on the `IntoIterator` trait][into],
      which eliminates the need to call `.iter()`, etc. to iterate
      over collections. There are some new subtleties to remember
      though regarding what sort of iterators various types yield, in
      particular that `for foo in bar { }` yields values from a move
      iterator, destroying the original collection. [RFC][into-rfc].
    * Objects now have [default lifetime bounds][obj], so you don't
      have to write `Box<Trait+'static>` when you don't care about
      storing references. [RFC][obj-rfc].
    * In types that implement `Drop`, [lifetimes must outlive the
      value][drop]. This will soon make it possible to safely
      implement `Drop` for types where `#[unsafe_destructor]` is now
      required. Read the [gorgeous RFC][drop-rfc] for details.
    * The fully qualified <T as Trait>::X syntax lets you set the Self
      type for a trait method or associated type. [RFC][ufcs-rfc].
    * References to types that implement `Deref<U>` now [automatically
      coerce to references][deref] to the dereferenced type `U`,
      e.g. `&T where T: Deref<U>` automatically coerces to `&U`. This
      should eliminate many unsightly uses of `&*`, as when converting
      from references to vectors into references to
      slices. [RFC][deref-rfc].
    * The explicit [closure kind syntax][close] (`|&:|`, `|&mut:|`,
      `|:|`) is obsolete and closure kind is inferred from context.
    * [`Self` is a keyword][Self].

* Libraries

    * The `Show` and `String` formatting traits [have been
      renamed][fmt] to `Debug` and `Display` to more clearly reflect
      their related purposes. Automatically getting a string
      conversion to use with `format!("{:?}", something_to_debug)` is
      now written `#[derive(Debug)]`.
    * Abstract [OS-specific string types][osstr], `std::ff::{OsString,
      OsStr}`, provide strings in platform-specific encodings for easier
      interop with system APIs. [RFC][osstr-rfc].
    * The `boxed::into_raw` and `Box::from_raw` functions [convert
      between `Box<T>` and `*mut T`][boxraw], a common pattern for
      creating raw pointers.

* Tooling

    * Certain long error messages of the form 'expected foo found bar'
      are now [split neatly across multiple
      lines][multiline]. Examples in the PR.
    * On Unix Rust can be [uninstalled][un] by running
      `/usr/local/lib/rustlib/uninstall.sh`.
    * The `#[rustc_on_unimplemented]` attribute, requiring the
      'on_unimplemented' feature, lets rustc [display custom error
      messages when a trait is expected to be implemented for a type
      but is not][onun].

* Misc

    * Rust is tested against a [LALR grammar][lalr], which parses
      almost all the Rust files that rustc does.

Version 1.0.0-alpha (2015-01-09)
==================================

  * ~2400 changes, numerous bugfixes

  * Highlights

    * The language itself is considered feature complete for 1.0,
      though there will be many usability improvements and bugfixes
      before the final release.
    * Nearly 50% of the public API surface of the standard library has
      been declared 'stable'. Those interfaces are unlikely to change
      before 1.0.
    * The long-running debate over integer types has been
      [settled][ints]: Rust will ship with types named `isize` and
      `usize`, rather than `int` and `uint`, for pointer-sized
      integers. Guidelines will be rolled out during the alpha cycle.
    * Most crates that are not `std` have been moved out of the Rust
      distribution into the Cargo ecosystem so they can evolve
      separately and don't need to be stabilized as quickly, including
      'time', 'getopts', 'num', 'regex', and 'term'.
    * Documentation continues to be expanded with more API coverage, more
      examples, and more in-depth explanations. The guides have been
      consolidated into [The Rust Programming Language][trpl].
    * "[Rust By Example][rbe]" is now maintained by the Rust team.
    * All official Rust binary installers now come with [Cargo], the
      Rust package manager.

* Language

    * Closures have been [completely redesigned][unboxed] to be
      implemented in terms of traits, can now be used as generic type
      bounds and thus monomorphized and inlined, or via an opaque
      pointer (boxed) as in the old system. The new system is often
      referred to as 'unboxed' closures.
    * Traits now support [associated types][assoc], allowing families
      of related types to be defined together and used generically in
      powerful ways.
    * Enum variants are [namespaced by their type names][enum].
    * [`where` clauses][where] provide a more versatile and attractive
      syntax for specifying generic bounds, though the previous syntax
      remains valid.
    * Rust again picks a [fallback][fb] (either i32 or f64) for uninferred
      numeric types.
    * Rust [no longer has a runtime][rt] of any description, and only
      supports OS threads, not green threads.
    * At long last, Rust has been overhauled for 'dynamically-sized
      types' ([DST]), which integrates 'fat pointers' (object types,
      arrays, and `str`) more deeply into the type system, making it
      more consistent.
    * Rust now has a general [range syntax][range], `i..j`, `i..`, and
      `..j` that produce range types and which, when combined with the
      `Index` operator and multidispatch, leads to a convenient slice
      notation, `[i..j]`.
    * The new range syntax revealed an ambiguity in the fixed-length
      array syntax, so now fixed length arrays [are written `[T;
      N]`][arrays].
    * The `Copy` trait is no longer implemented automatically. Unsafe
      pointers no longer implement `Sync` and `Send` so types
      containing them don't automatically either. `Sync` and `Send`
      are now 'unsafe traits' so one can "forcibly" implement them via
      `unsafe impl` if a type confirms to the requirements for them
      even though the internals do not (e.g. structs containing unsafe
      pointers like `Arc`). These changes are intended to prevent some
      footguns and are collectively known as [opt-in built-in
      traits][oibit] (though `Sync` and `Send` will soon become pure
      library types unknown to the compiler).
    * Operator traits now take their operands [by value][ops], and
      comparison traits can use multidispatch to compare one type
      against multiple other types, allowing e.g. `String` to be
      compared with `&str`.
    * `if let` and `while let` are no longer feature-gated.
    * Rust has adopted a more [uniform syntax for escaping unicode
      characters][unicode].
    * `macro_rules!` [has been declared stable][mac]. Though it is a
      flawed system it is sufficiently popular that it must be usable
      for 1.0. Effort has gone into [future-proofing][mac-future] it
      in ways that will allow other macro systems to be developed in
      parallel, and won't otherwise impact the evolution of the
      language.
    * The prelude has been [pared back significantly][prelude] such
      that it is the minimum necessary to support the most pervasive
      code patterns, and through [generalized where clauses][where]
      many of the prelude extension traits have been consolidated.
    * Rust's rudimentary reflection [has been removed][refl], as it
      incurred too much code generation for little benefit.
    * [Struct variants][structvars] are no longer feature-gated.
    * Trait bounds can be [polymorphic over lifetimes][hrtb]. Also
      known as 'higher-ranked trait bounds', this crucially allows
      unboxed closures to work.
    * Macros invocations surrounded by parens or square brackets and
      not terminated by a semicolon are [parsed as
      expressions][macros], which makes expressions like `vec![1i32,
      2, 3].len()` work as expected.
    * Trait objects now implement their traits automatically, and
      traits that can be coerced to objects now must be [object
      safe][objsafe].
    * Automatically deriving traits is now done with `#[derive(...)]`
      not `#[deriving(...)]` for [consistency with other naming
      conventions][derive].
    * Importing the containing module or enum at the same time as
      items or variants they contain is [now done with `self` instead
      of `mod`][self], as in use `foo::{self, bar}`
    * Glob imports are no longer feature-gated.
    * The `box` operator and `box` patterns have been feature-gated
      pending a redesign. For now unique boxes should be allocated
      like other containers, with `Box::new`.

* Libraries

    * A [series][coll1] of [efforts][coll2] to establish
      [conventions][coll3] for collections types has resulted in API
      improvements throughout the standard library.
    * New [APIs for error handling][err] provide ergonomic interop
      between error types, and [new conventions][err-conv] describe
      more clearly the recommended error handling strategies in Rust.
    * The `fail!` macro has been renamed to [`panic!`][panic] so that
      it is easier to discuss failure in the context of error handling
      without making clarifications as to whether you are referring to
      the 'fail' macro or failure more generally.
    * On Linux, `OsRng` prefers the new, more reliable `getrandom`
      syscall when available.
    * The 'serialize' crate has been renamed 'rustc-serialize' and
      moved out of the distribution to Cargo. Although it is widely
      used now, it is expected to be superseded in the near future.
    * The `Show` formatter, typically implemented with
      `#[derive(Show)]` is [now requested with the `{:?}`
      specifier][show] and is intended for use by all types, for uses
      such as `println!` debugging. The new `String` formatter must be
      implemented by hand, uses the `{}` specifier, and is intended
      for full-fidelity conversions of things that can logically be
      represented as strings.

* Tooling

    * [Flexible target specification][flex] allows rustc's code
      generation to be configured to support otherwise-unsupported
      platforms.
    * Rust comes with rust-gdb and rust-lldb scripts that launch their
      respective debuggers with Rust-appropriate pretty-printing.
    * The Windows installation of Rust is distributed with the
      MinGW components currently required to link binaries on that
      platform.

* Misc

    * Nullable enum optimizations have been extended to more types so
      that e.g. `Option<Vec<T>>` and `Option<String>` take up no more
      space than the inner types themselves.
    * Work has begun on supporting AArch64.

Version 0.12.0 (2014-10-09)
=============================

  * ~1900 changes, numerous bugfixes

  * Highlights

    * The introductory documentation (now called The Rust Guide) has
      been completely rewritten, as have a number of supplementary
      guides.
    * Rust's package manager, Cargo, continues to improve and is
      sometimes considered to be quite awesome.
    * Many API's in `std` have been reviewed and updated for
      consistency with the in-development Rust coding
      guidelines. The standard library documentation tracks
      stabilization progress.
    * Minor libraries have been moved out-of-tree to the rust-lang org
      on GitHub: uuid, semver, glob, num, hexfloat, fourcc. They can
      be installed with Cargo.
    * Lifetime elision allows lifetime annotations to be left off of
      function declarations in many common scenarios.
    * Rust now works on 64-bit Windows.

  * Language
    * Indexing can be overloaded with the `Index` and `IndexMut`
      traits.
    * The `if let` construct takes a branch only if the `let` pattern
      matches, currently behind the 'if_let' feature gate.
    * 'where clauses', a more flexible syntax for specifying trait
      bounds that is more aesthetic, have been added for traits and
      free functions. Where clauses will in the future make it
      possible to constrain associated types, which would be
      impossible with the existing syntax.
    * A new slicing syntax (e.g. `[0..4]`) has been introduced behind
      the 'slicing_syntax' feature gate, and can be overloaded with
      the `Slice` or `SliceMut` traits.
    * The syntax for matching of sub-slices has been changed to use a
      postfix `..` instead of prefix (.e.g. `[a, b, c..]`), for
      consistency with other uses of `..` and to future-proof
      potential additional uses of the syntax.
    * The syntax for matching inclusive ranges in patterns has changed
      from `0..3` to `0...4` to be consistent with the exclusive range
      syntax for slicing.
    * Matching of sub-slices in non-tail positions (e.g.  `[a.., b,
      c]`) has been put behind the 'advanced_slice_patterns' feature
      gate and may be removed in the future.
    * Components of tuples and tuple structs can be extracted using
      the `value.0` syntax, currently behind the `tuple_indexing`
      feature gate.
    * The `#[crate_id]` attribute is no longer supported; versioning
      is handled by the package manager.
    * Renaming crate imports are now written `extern crate foo as bar`
      instead of `extern crate bar = foo`.
    * Renaming use statements are now written `use foo as bar` instead
      of `use bar = foo`.
    * `let` and `match` bindings and argument names in macros are now
      hygienic.
    * The new, more efficient, closure types ('unboxed closures') have
      been added under a feature gate, 'unboxed_closures'. These will
      soon replace the existing closure types, once higher-ranked
      trait lifetimes are added to the language.
    * `move` has been added as a keyword, for indicating closures
      that capture by value.
    * Mutation and assignment is no longer allowed in pattern guards.
    * Generic structs and enums can now have trait bounds.
    * The `Share` trait is now called `Sync` to free up the term
      'shared' to refer to 'shared reference' (the default reference
      type.
    * Dynamically-sized types have been mostly implemented,
      unifying the behavior of fat-pointer types with the rest of the
      type system.
    * As part of dynamically-sized types, the `Sized` trait has been
      introduced, which qualifying types implement by default, and
      which type parameters expect by default. To specify that a type
      parameter does not need to be sized, write `<Sized? T>`. Most
      types are `Sized`, notable exceptions being unsized arrays
      (`[T]`) and trait types.
    * Closures can return `!`, as in `|| -> !` or `proc() -> !`.
    * Lifetime bounds can now be applied to type parameters and object
      types.
    * The old, reference counted GC type, `Gc<T>` which was once
      denoted by the `@` sigil, has finally been removed. GC will be
      revisited in the future.

  * Libraries
    * Library documentation has been improved for a number of modules.
    * Bit-vectors, collections::bitv has been modernized.
    * The url crate is deprecated in favor of
      http://github.com/servo/rust-url, which can be installed with
      Cargo.
    * Most I/O stream types can be cloned and subsequently closed from
      a different thread.
    * A `std::time::Duration` type has been added for use in I/O
      methods that rely on timers, as well as in the 'time' crate's
      `Timespec` arithmetic.
    * The runtime I/O abstraction layer that enabled the green thread
      scheduler to do non-thread-blocking I/O has been removed, along
      with the libuv-based implementation employed by the green thread
      scheduler. This will greatly simplify the future I/O work.
    * `collections::btree` has been rewritten to have a more
      idiomatic and efficient design.

  * Tooling
    * rustdoc output now indicates the stability levels of API's.
    * The `--crate-name` flag can specify the name of the crate
      being compiled, like `#[crate_name]`.
    * The `-C metadata` specifies additional metadata to hash into
      symbol names, and `-C extra-filename` specifies additional
      information to put into the output filename, for use by the
      package manager for versioning.
    * debug info generation has continued to improve and should be
      more reliable under both gdb and lldb.
    * rustc has experimental support for compiling in parallel
      using the `-C codegen-units` flag.
    * rustc no longer encodes rpath information into binaries by
      default.

  * Misc
    * Stack usage has been optimized with LLVM lifetime annotations.
    * Official Rust binaries on Linux are more compatible with older
      kernels and distributions, built on CentOS 5.10.


Version 0.11.0 (2014-07-02)
==========================

  * ~1700 changes, numerous bugfixes

  * Language
    * ~[T] has been removed from the language. This type is superseded by
      the Vec<T> type.
    * ~str has been removed from the language. This type is superseded by
      the String type.
    * ~T has been removed from the language. This type is superseded by the
      Box<T> type.
    * @T has been removed from the language. This type is superseded by the
      standard library's std::gc::Gc<T> type.
    * Struct fields are now all private by default.
    * Vector indices and shift amounts are both required to be a `uint`
      instead of any integral type.
    * Byte character, byte string, and raw byte string literals are now all
      supported by prefixing the normal literal with a `b`.
    * Multiple ABIs are no longer allowed in an ABI string
    * The syntax for lifetimes on closures/procedures has been tweaked
      slightly: `<'a>|A, B|: 'b + K -> T`
    * Floating point modulus has been removed from the language; however it
      is still provided by a library implementation.
    * Private enum variants are now disallowed.
    * The `priv` keyword has been removed from the language.
    * A closure can no longer be invoked through a &-pointer.
    * The `use foo, bar, baz;` syntax has been removed from the language.
    * The transmute intrinsic no longer works on type parameters.
    * Statics now allow blocks/items in their definition.
    * Trait bounds are separated from objects with + instead of : now.
    * Objects can no longer be read while they are mutably borrowed.
    * The address of a static is now marked as insignificant unless the
      #[inline(never)] attribute is placed it.
    * The #[unsafe_destructor] attribute is now behind a feature gate.
    * Struct literals are no longer allowed in ambiguous positions such as
      if, while, match, and for..in.
    * Declaration of lang items and intrinsics are now feature-gated by
      default.
    * Integral literals no longer default to `int`, and floating point
      literals no longer default to `f64`. Literals must be suffixed with an
      appropriate type if inference cannot determine the type of the
      literal.
    * The Box<T> type is no longer implicitly borrowed to &mut T.
    * Procedures are now required to not capture borrowed references.

  * Libraries
    * The standard library is now a "facade" over a number of underlying
      libraries. This means that development on the standard library should
      be speedier due to smaller crates, as well as a clearer line between
      all dependencies.
    * A new library, libcore, lives under the standard library's facade
      which is Rust's "0-assumption" library, suitable for embedded and
      kernel development for example.
    * A regex crate has been added to the standard distribution. This crate
      includes statically compiled regular expressions.
    * The unwrap/unwrap_err methods on Result require a Show bound for
      better error messages.
    * The return types of the std::comm primitives have been centralized
      around the Result type.
    * A number of I/O primitives have gained the ability to time out their
      operations.
    * A number of I/O primitives have gained the ability to close their
      reading/writing halves to cancel pending operations.
    * Reverse iterator methods have been removed in favor of `rev()` on
      their forward-iteration counterparts.
    * A bitflags! macro has been added to enable easy interop with C and
      management of bit flags.
    * A debug_assert! macro is now provided which is disabled when
      `--cfg ndebug` is passed to the compiler.
    * A graphviz crate has been added for creating .dot files.
    * The std::cast module has been migrated into std::mem.
    * The std::local_data api has been migrated from freestanding functions
      to being based on methods.
    * The Pod trait has been renamed to Copy.
    * jemalloc has been added as the default allocator for types.
    * The API for allocating memory has been changed to use proper alignment
      and sized deallocation
    * Connecting a TcpStream or binding a TcpListener is now based on a
      string address and a u16 port. This allows connecting to a hostname as
      opposed to an IP.
    * The Reader trait now contains a core method, read_at_least(), which
      correctly handles many repeated 0-length reads.
    * The process-spawning API is now centered around a builder-style
      Command struct.
    * The :? printing qualifier has been moved from the standard library to
      an external libdebug crate.
    * Eq/Ord have been renamed to PartialEq/PartialOrd. TotalEq/TotalOrd
      have been renamed to Eq/Ord.
    * The select/plural methods have been removed from format!. The escapes
      for { and } have also changed from \{ and \} to {{ and }},
      respectively.
    * The TaskBuilder API has been re-worked to be a true builder, and
      extension traits for spawning native/green tasks have been added.

  * Tooling
    * All breaking changes to the language or libraries now have their
      commit message annotated with `[breaking-change]` to allow for easy
      discovery of breaking changes.
    * The compiler will now try to suggest how to annotate lifetimes if a
      lifetime-related error occurs.
    * Debug info continues to be improved greatly with general bug fixes and
      better support for situations like link time optimization (LTO).
    * Usage of syntax extensions when cross-compiling has been fixed.
    * Functionality equivalent to GCC & Clang's -ffunction-sections,
      -fdata-sections and --gc-sections has been enabled by default
    * The compiler is now stricter about where it will load module files
      from when a module is declared via `mod foo;`.
    * The #[phase(syntax)] attribute has been renamed to #[phase(plugin)].
      Syntax extensions are now discovered via a "plugin registrar" type
      which will be extended in the future to other various plugins.
    * Lints have been restructured to allow for dynamically loadable lints.
    * A number of rustdoc improvements:
      * The HTML output has been visually redesigned.
      * Markdown is now powered by hoedown instead of sundown.
      * Searching heuristics have been greatly improved.
      * The search index has been reduced in size by a great amount.
      * Cross-crate documentation via `pub use` has been greatly improved.
      * Primitive types are now hyperlinked and documented.
    * Documentation has been moved from static.rust-lang.org/doc to
      doc.rust-lang.org
    * A new sandbox, play.rust-lang.org, is available for running and
      sharing rust code examples on-line.
    * Unused attributes are now more robustly warned about.
    * The dead_code lint now warns about unused struct fields.
    * Cross-compiling to iOS is now supported.
    * Cross-compiling to mipsel is now supported.
    * Stability attributes are now inherited by default and no longer apply
      to intra-crate usage, only inter-crate usage.
    * Error message related to non-exhaustive match expressions have been
      greatly improved.


Version 0.10 (2014-04-03)
=========================

  * ~1500 changes, numerous bugfixes

  * Language
    * A new RFC process is now in place for modifying the language.
    * Patterns with `@`-pointers have been removed from the language.
    * Patterns with unique vectors (`~[T]`) have been removed from the
      language.
    * Patterns with unique strings (`~str`) have been removed from the
      language.
    * `@str` has been removed from the language.

      see #3511 and #11585 for more information.
    * Cross-crate syntax extensions are now possible, but feature gated. See
      #11151 for more information. This includes both `macro_rules!` macros as
      well as syntax extensions such as `format!`.
    * New lint modes have been added, and older ones have been turned on to be
      warn-by-default.
      * Unnecessary parentheses
      * Uppercase statics
      * Camel Case types

    * `~Trait` and `proc` no longer have `Send` bounds by default.
    * Partial type hints are now supported with the `_` type marker.
    * An `Unsafe` type was introduced for interior mutability. It is now
      considered undefined to transmute from `&T` to `&mut T` without using the
      `Unsafe` type.

      are now found at `std::io::BufferedReader` instead of
      `std::io::buffered::BufferedReader`.

    * std: `Rc` now has a `Weak` pointer for breaking cycles, and it no longer
      attempts to statically prevent cycles.
    * std: The standard distribution is adopting the policy of pushing failure
      to the user rather than failing in libraries. Many functions (such as
      `slice::last()`) now return `Option<T>` instead of `T` + failing.
    * std: `fmt::Default` has been renamed to `fmt::Show`, and it now has a new
      deriving mode: `#[deriving(Show)]`.

      it can be booted manually. The runtime guide has more information and
      examples.
    * native: All I/O functionality except signals has been implemented.
    * green: Task spawning with `libgreen` has been optimized with stack caching
      and various trimming of code.
    * green: Tasks spawned by `libgreen` now have an unmapped guard page.
    * sync: The `extra::sync` module has been updated to modern rust (and moved
      to the `sync` library), tweaking and improving various interfaces while
      dropping redundant functionality.
    * sync: A new `Barrier` type has been added to the `sync` library.
    * sync: An efficient mutex for native and green tasks has been implemented.

Version 0.9 (2014-01-09)
==========================

   * ~1800 changes, numerous bugfixes

   * Language
      * The `float` type has been removed. Use `f32` or `f64` instead.
      * A new facility for enabling experimental features (feature gating) has
        been added, using the crate-level `#[feature(foo)]` attribute.
      * Managed boxes (@) are now behind a feature gate
        (`#[feature(managed_boxes)]`) in preparation for future removal. Use the
        standard library's `Gc` or `Rc` types instead.
      * `@mut` has been removed. Use `std::cell::{Cell, RefCell}` instead.
      * Jumping back to the top of a loop is now done with `continue` instead of
        `loop`.
      * Strings can no longer be mutated through index assignment.
      * Raw strings can be created via the basic `r"foo"` syntax or with matched
        hash delimiters, as in `r###"foo"###`.
      * `~fn` is now written `proc (args) -> retval { ... }` and may only be
        called once.
      * The `&fn` type is now written `|args| -> ret` to match the literal form.
      * `@fn`s have been removed.
      * `do` only works with procs in order to make it obvious what the cost
        of `do` is.
      * Single-element tuple-like structs can no longer be dereferenced to
        obtain the inner value. A more comprehensive solution for overloading
        the dereference operator will be provided in the future.
      * The `#[link(...)]` attribute has been replaced with
        `#[crate_id = "name#vers"]`.
      * Empty `impl`s must be terminated with empty braces and may not be
        terminated with a semicolon.
      * Keywords are no longer allowed as lifetime names; the `self` lifetime
        no longer has any special meaning.
      * The old `fmt!` string formatting macro has been removed.
      * `printf!` and `printfln!` (old-style formatting) removed in favor of
        `print!` and `println!`.
      * `mut` works in patterns now, as in `let (mut x, y) = (1, 2);`.
      * The `extern mod foo (name = "bar")` syntax has been removed. Use
        `extern mod foo = "bar"` instead.
      * New reserved keywords: `alignof`, `offsetof`, `sizeof`.
      * Macros can have attributes.
      * Macros can expand to items with attributes.
      * Macros can expand to multiple items.
      * The `asm!` macro is feature-gated (`#[feature(asm)]`).
      * Comments may be nested.
      * Values automatically coerce to trait objects they implement, without
        an explicit `as`.
      * Enum discriminants are no longer an entire word but as small as needed to
        contain all the variants. The `repr` attribute can be used to override
        the discriminant size, as in `#[repr(int)]` for integer-sized, and
        `#[repr(C)]` to match C enums.
      * Non-string literals are not allowed in attributes (they never worked).
      * The FFI now supports variadic functions.
      * Octal numeric literals, as in `0o7777`.
      * The `concat!` syntax extension performs compile-time string concatenation.
      * The `#[fixed_stack_segment]` and `#[rust_stack]` attributes have been
        removed as Rust no longer uses segmented stacks.
      * Non-ascii identifiers are feature-gated (`#[feature(non_ascii_idents)]`).
      * Ignoring all fields of an enum variant or tuple-struct is done with `..`,
        not `*`; ignoring remaining fields of a struct is also done with `..`,
        not `_`; ignoring a slice of a vector is done with `..`, not `.._`.
      * `rustc` supports the "win64" calling convention via `extern "win64"`.
      * `rustc` supports the "system" calling convention, which defaults to the
        preferred convention for the target platform, "stdcall" on 32-bit Windows,
        "C" elsewhere.
      * The `type_overflow` lint (default: warn) checks literals for overflow.
      * The `unsafe_block` lint (default: allow) checks for usage of `unsafe`.
      * The `attribute_usage` lint (default: warn) warns about unknown
        attributes.

        feature gates.
      * The `dead_code` lint (default: warn) checks for dead code.
      * Rust libraries can be linked statically to one another
      * `#[link_args]` is behind the `link_args` feature gate.

      * Native libraries can be statically linked to a rust crate
        (`#[link(name = "foo", kind = "static")]`).
      * Native OS X frameworks are now officially supported
        (`#[link(name = "foo", kind = "framework")]`).
      * The `#[thread_local]` attribute creates thread-local (not task-local)
        variables. Currently behind the `thread_local` feature gate.
      * The `return` keyword may be used in closures.
      * Types that can be copied via a memcpy implement the `Pod` kind.
      * The `cfg` attribute can now be used on struct fields and enum variants.

   * Libraries

        simpler, more consistent, and more composable.
      * std: The entire `std::io` module has been replaced with one that is
        more comprehensive and that properly interfaces with the underlying
        scheduler. File, TCP, UDP, Unix sockets, pipes, and timers are all
        implemented.
      * std: `io::util` contains a number of useful implementations of
        `Reader` and `Writer`, including `NullReader`, `NullWriter`,
        `ZeroReader`, `TeeReader`.
      * std: The reference counted pointer type `extra::rc` moved into std.
      * std: The `Gc` type in the `gc` module will replace `@` (it is currently
        just a wrapper around it).

        replaced by the `keys` and `values` iterators.
      * std: Functions dealing with type size and alignment have moved from the
        `sys` module to the `mem` module.
      * std: The `path` module was written and API changed.
      * std: `str::from_utf8` has been changed to cast instead of allocate.
      * std: `starts_with` and `ends_with` methods added to vectors via the
        `ImmutableEqVector` trait, which is in the prelude.
      * std: Vectors can be indexed with the `get_opt` method, which returns `None`
        if the index is out of bounds.
      * std: Task failure no longer propagates between tasks, as the model was
        complex, expensive, and incompatible with thread-based tasks.
      * std: The `Any` type can be used for dynamic typing.
      * std: `~Any` can be passed to the `fail!` macro and retrieved via
        `task::try`.
      * std: Methods that produce iterators generally do not have an `_iter`
        suffix now.

        roots (mutable fields, etc.). Use instead of e.g. `@mut`.
      * std: `util::ignore` renamed to `prelude::drop`.
      * std: Slices have `sort` and `sort_by` methods via the `MutableVector`
        trait.
      * std: `vec::raw` has seen a lot of cleanup and API changes.
      * std: The standard library no longer includes any C++ code, and very
        minimal C, eliminating the dependency on libstdc++.
      * std: Runtime scheduling and I/O functionality has been factored out into
        extensible interfaces and is now implemented by two different crates:
        libnative, for native threading and I/O; and libgreen, for green threading
        and I/O. This paves the way for using the standard library in more limited
        embedded environments.
      * std: The `comm` module has been rewritten to be much faster, have a
        simpler, more consistent API, and to work for both native and green
        threading.

      * native: New implementations of runtime scheduling on top of OS threads.
      * native: New native implementations of TCP, UDP, file I/O, process spawning,
        and other I/O.
      * green: The green thread scheduler and message passing types are almost
        entirely lock-free.
      * extra: The `flatpipes` module had bitrotted and was removed.
      * extra: All crypto functions have been removed and Rust now has a policy of
        not reimplementing crypto in the standard library. In the future crypto
        will be provided by external crates with bindings to established libraries.
      * extra: `c_vec` has been modernized.
      * extra: The `sort` module has been removed. Use the `sort` method on
        mutable slices.

        maintenance.
      * `rustdoc` was completely rewritten.
      * `rustdoc` can test code examples in documentation.
      * `rustpkg` can test packages with the argument, 'test'.

      * `rustc`'s support for generating debug info is improved again.
      * `rustc` has better error reporting for unbalanced delimiters.
      * `rustc`'s JIT support was removed due to bitrot.
      * Executables and static libraries can be built with LTO (-Z lto)
      * `rustc` adds a `--dep-info` flag for communicating dependencies to
        build tools.

      * Default methods are ready for use.
      * Many trait inheritance bugs fixed.
      * Owned and borrowed trait objects work more reliably.
      * `copy` is no longer a keyword. It has been replaced by the `Clone` trait.
      * rustc can omit emission of code for the `debug!` macro if it is passed
        `--cfg ndebug`
      * mod.rs is now "blessed". When loading `mod foo;`, rustc will now look
        for foo.rs, then foo/mod.rs, and will generate an error when both are
        present.
      * Strings no longer contain trailing nulls. The new `std::c_str` module
        provides new mechanisms for converting to C strings.
      * The type of foreign functions is now `extern "C" fn` instead of `*u8'.
      * The FFI has been overhauled such that foreign functions are called directly,
        instead of through a stack-switching wrapper.
      * Calling a foreign function must be done through a Rust function with the
        `#[fixed_stack_segment]` attribute.
      * The `externfn!` macro can be used to declare both a foreign function and
        a `#[fixed_stack_segment]` wrapper at once.
      * `pub` and `priv` modifiers on `extern` blocks are no longer parsed.
      * `unsafe` is no longer allowed on extern fns - they are all unsafe.
      * `priv` is disallowed everywhere except for struct fields and enum variants.
      * `&T` (besides `&'static T`) is no longer allowed in `@T`.
      * `ref` bindings in irrefutable patterns work correctly now.
      * `char` is now prevented from containing invalid code points.
      * Casting to `bool` is no longer allowed.
      * `\0` is now accepted as an escape in chars and strings.
      * `yield` is a reserved keyword.
      * `typeof` is a reserved keyword.
      * Crates may be imported by URL with `extern mod foo = "url";`.
      * Explicit enum discriminants may be given as uints as in `enum E { V = 0u }`
      * Static vectors can be initialized with repeating elements,
        e.g. `static foo: [u8, .. 100]: [0, .. 100];`.
      * Static structs can be initialized with functional record update,
        e.g. `static foo: Foo = Foo { a: 5, .. bar };`.
      * `cfg!` can be used to conditionally execute code based on the crate
        configuration, similarly to `#[cfg(...)]`.
      * The `unnecessary_qualification` lint detects unneeded module
        prefixes (default: allow).
      * Arithmetic operations have been implemented on the SIMD types in
        `std::unstable::simd`.
      * Exchange allocation headers were removed, reducing memory usage.
      * `format!` implements a completely new, extensible, and higher-performance
        string formatting system. It will replace `fmt!`.
      * `print!` and `println!` write formatted strings (using the `format!`
        extension) to stdout.
      * `write!` and `writeln!` write formatted strings (using the `format!`
        extension) to the new Writers in `std::rt::io`.
      * The library section in which a function or static is placed may
        be specified with `#[link_section = "..."]`.
      * The `proto!` syntax extension for defining bounded message protocols
        was removed.
      * `macro_rules!` is hygienic for `let` declarations.
      * The `#[export_name]` attribute specifies the name of a symbol.
      * `unreachable!` can be used to indicate unreachable code, and fails
        if executed.

   * Libraries
      * std: Transitioned to the new runtime, written in Rust.
      * std: Added an experimental I/O library, `rt::io`, based on the new
        runtime.
      * std: A new generic `range` function was added to the prelude, replacing
        `uint::range` and friends.
      * std: `range_rev` no longer exists. Since range is an iterator it can be
        reversed with `range(lo, hi).invert()`.
      * std: The `chain` method on option renamed to `and_then`; `unwrap_or_default`
        renamed to `unwrap_or`.
      * std: The `iterator` module was renamed to `iter`.
      * std: Integral types now support the `checked_add`, `checked_sub`, and
        `checked_mul` operations for detecting overflow.
      * std: Many methods in `str`, `vec`, `option, `result` were renamed for
        consistency.
      * std: Methods are standardizing on conventions for casting methods:
        `to_foo` for copying, `into_foo` for moving, `as_foo` for temporary
        and cheap casts.
      * std: The `CString` type in `c_str` provides new ways to convert to and
        from C strings.
      * std: `DoubleEndedIterator` can yield elements in two directions.
      * std: The `mut_split` method on vectors partitions an `&mut [T]` into
        two splices.
      * std: `str::from_bytes` renamed to `str::from_utf8`.
      * std: `pop_opt` and `shift_opt` methods added to vectors.
      * std: The task-local data interface no longer uses @, and keys are
        no longer function pointers.
      * std: The `swap_unwrap` method of `Option` renamed to `take_unwrap`.
      * std: Added `SharedPort` to `comm`.
      * std: `Eq` has a default method for `ne`; only `eq` is required
        in implementations.
      * std: `Ord` has default methods for `le`, `gt` and `ge`; only `lt`
